Hi Aimee! We're late to see your video, but enjoy hearing your feedback of our MDF Acoustica Stethoscope! We wanted to make sure you got your stethoscope taken care of! Our Lifetime Warranty does not officially cover surface stains on the tubing but we would love to see how we can replace it for you. Our Lifetime Warranty does cover stiffened tubing, and other defects effecting the operational quality of the stethoscope. Hope to hear from you soon!
I have used MDF since the beginning of my residency. Absolutely loved it and it’s loud enough for me. But right now I have a stiffened tubing and a replacement I got was too loose so much that I lost my bell. I’m so much pained but I need a new one. Please can you assist me?
I'm just starting nursing school and i opted for a MDF in all black because i cant afford a Littman but i must say from practice so far i really like my MDF
I have a Littmann Lightweight in Ceil Blue and love how lightweight it is. I have no issues hearing out of it. The curve of the bell/diaphragm is nice for BP’s too. The MDF one is super pretty but I have a feeling it would show wear.
Littman cardiology is bae! I heard everything. I actually found a arrythmia in a patient in clinical that the primary didnt and she used MDR. Anyways received an A for that clinical 😍
Cardio iv is an awsome stetoscope, I think if this is your chosen profession buy the best that's going to last the longest. Make a one time purchase that you will be happy with.
This helped. Though I'm still on the fence cuz I just got my MDF, and I'm not sure what to think. I want to try a Littmann cardiology one. Ugh the decisions!
Hi! By chance you tried soaking some cotton in pure bleach, placing it on the area and leaving it for about 12 hours? I saw on CZcams that a girl did it to remove ink stains on a rubber doll and it worked. Maybe it's for you too. Best regards
Question! Does the MDF have removable earbuds? I have a Prestige Medical brand stethoscope and the earbuds screw on and off and I am constantly losing them on calls or in the back of the ambulance. Do these pop on and off?
You can change them out like any other stethoscope but they don't screw on and off. You just pop them on. I've never lost and earned on a stethoscope so perhaps it is a design issue with prestige?
Sinc you mentioned that you could not heart sounds too well with the littmann, there was no manufacture number on the head, and the price that you paid was too cheap, I would say that the littmann stethoscope that you have is fake. It doesn't seem like you have an original littmann because all original littmanns supposed to have a manufacturing or model number etc. on the head and the diaphragm cover should be more clear and the cheapest price that i have seen is about $75-$80 bucks and thats with a discount. This is just a few of the ways that you can tell if a littmann stethoscope is fake.
I’m buying a stethoscope for a friend who just started nursing school and I’m thinking about getting a Littman classic for her BUT she loves rose gold and MDF offers some in that color. Just wondering if I’m going to be choosing the wrong Brand for looks or if I should just get her a Littman?
Looks aretempting but go with what is more functional. I love the pretty stethoscopes but I can tell you those aren't the ones I grab when I'm in a hurry. Lately I grab what is going to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I don't even pay attention to what my stethoscope looks like anymore 😅
I have a question when i look on amazon at the weights for theses stethoscopes they very by cooler even though they are the same model. Im not in any medical field just curious .
When do you suggest for buying a stethoscope for your program? Right before you start or after like the 1st day? Someone told me before, to save money.
Depends on your program. If you'll be using it the first day then go ahead and get one but check with your school, they may provide one also. If you want to save money and they don't require it immediately then you can wait until you are going to use it.
Hii. So my question is this Can we learn proprely with the MDF acoustic or should I buy the MDF MD one who’s more expensive. I’d like to save, but I’m starting nursing school and I wanna be able to learn proprely
Paramedic student that cant hear shit for shit lol..but my acoustica does pretty good for 45 bucks off amazon .....had lots of seasoned medics use it and say its legit
The tubing was replaced with the warranty but stained again. So I didn't want to go through the hassle of having to continuously replace the tubing. The stethoscope is good but I would choose a darker color to avoid the staining.
We don't. The neurosurgeons follow me around all day with a wide variety of stethoscopes for me to use, depending on the situation. If they offer me the wrong one, I scream at them and publicly berate them so they learn never to do that again!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There was confusion by a patient who thought the nurse was a doctor at the hospital I work. So it's not allowed for them to CARRY but only to use when taking BP.
I'm a nurse and started with a Littman but borrowed a friend's MDF and heard so much better, I went out and bought my own!
What MDF model was it?
Thank you very much 👍
I’ve had my MDF stethoscope since nursing school. Didn’t have money to spend on a Littman. With free replacement parts, still using it to date.
P M what model of MDF was it?

I'm an EMT student, and broke so I ordered the MDF MD One. Hopefully it works!!!
Edit I bought the MDF acoustica lightweight it's awesome 😎
Littman cardiology is bae! I heard everything. I actually found a arrythmia in a patient in clinical that the primary didnt and she used MDR. Anyways received an A for that clinical 😍
That's amazing!!
you sure don't need a stethoscope for an arrythimia..
Must have been pretty crazy to use a stethoscope to identify a cardiac arrhythmia lmao
@@DarthVader-ry2hg Haha. I didn't know you can identify an arrhythmia via a stethoscope neither. The person probably meant a murmur.
lol, auscultation over the heart is one of the main ways to find an arrhythmia
I just started vet school, this was very helpful
Thanks for the review! Very good points. I am considering the MDF titanium stethoscope for school and clinicals
Mdf is just as good. I have the mdf my mom has littman
@@shychick96 is Acoustica good? Or would you recommend the more expensive models?
Cardio iv is an awsome stetoscope, I think if this is your chosen profession buy the best that's going to last the longest. Make a one time purchase that you will be happy with.
Thanks for this! I bought MDF acoustica❤️❤️❤️
I order MDF I feel like I did good choice thank you!!!!
I got me a MDF its light weight, and it's great
This helped. Though I'm still on the fence cuz I just got my MDF, and I'm not sure what to think. I want to try a Littmann cardiology one. Ugh the decisions!
Same!

Would the mdf stethoscope be good to hear the heartbeat of a dog or cat and if so what brand should I buy for that
Question! Does the MDF have removable earbuds? I have a Prestige Medical brand stethoscope and the earbuds screw on and off and I am constantly losing them on calls or in the back of the ambulance. Do these pop on and off?

I bought an MDF for use during my program. Glad to hear that it should serve me well. What cleaner were you using. Mine also has white tubing.
I linked the cleaner in the description box 😊
Does the MDF colour on the metal fade very fast?

I have a question when i look on amazon at the weights for theses stethoscopes they very by cooler even though they are the same model. Im not in any medical field just curious .
I would look at the actual website for the weights not individual sellers. I don't know why the weight would vary by color vs model
so im guessing the weights should be the same then I just couldn't rap my head around it thanks
That's what I'm thinking as well!
You're welcome!
Can you hear heart and lung sounds well with the MDF acoustica? Would it be a good choice for a student and clinical rotation?
It's a good starter stethoscope for sure!

@@BreatheEasyRRT good to know. Thank you!!

I’d like to save, but I’m starting nursing school and I wanna be able to learn proprely
The mdf Acoustica is a great starter stethoscope!
lightweight stethoscope without serial number?
Can you tell me the cheapest place to get mdf stethoscope? Or any website to look for
Great Vidio Which stethoscope can you recommend?
You can replace your MDF tubing! :) for free!
So professional 👍
Rubbing alcohol will remove the dye. And ink use a alc wipe
Unfortunately that didn't work
@@BreatheEasyRRT I agree. No wipe worked to remove ink,etc.
Does anyone know what can remove ink from light coloured stethoscopes?
Paramedic student that cant hear shit for shit lol..but my acoustica does pretty good for 45 bucks off amazon .....had lots of seasoned medics use it and say its legit
Ajudou demais, obrigada
Pena que mdf não tem no Brasil
Hello i wanted to know what MDF did for you for your stethoscope since the white tube got messed up?
The tubing was replaced with the warranty but stained again. So I didn't want to go through the hassle of having to continuously replace the tubing. The stethoscope is good but I would choose a darker color to avoid the staining.
@@BreatheEasyRRT does it have better sounds as compared to littman? I'm gonna spend a bit on a new steth and really wanna know.
MDF is best for me.
Littmann PERIOD!
Did you try the magic eraser?
Yes. That didn't work for me.
MDF the best

Since when do nurses carry stethoscope?
Since always. Just like respiratory therapists
🙄
We don't. The neurosurgeons follow me around all day with a wide variety of stethoscopes for me to use, depending on the situation. If they offer me the wrong one, I scream at them and publicly berate them so they learn never to do that again!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there anything wrong with that? How they'll be able to get vital signs to their patients? Haha..
There was confusion by a patient who thought the nurse was a doctor at the hospital I work. So it's not allowed for them to CARRY but only to use when taking BP.
My stethoscope cost me two dollars and it does well, lol
You gotta do what works for you! I know people that only use those isolation room stethoscopes and it seems to work okay for them
🤣🤣🤣😷
Try being an EMT and taking a BP with that scope on the back of a rig lol
Sounds tough. That would be a pretty unusual situation for me to be in 😅
I honestly hear better with the yellow isolation stethoscope than my littman :(
Жжот красотка 👍😉
га ? --- скучная как сода.. че то ты парень не в тот канал попал (для сравнения)...
You’re beautiful
😂stop my guy
I refuse to pay more than 10 dollars for an empty tube.
U would if u care about the sound quality
Littman overated!
Nice information, thank you! 🩺
I like MDF and both models are nice but more MDF
