    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 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.

    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?

    • @BreatheEasyRRT
      @BreatheEasyRRT  Před 3 lety +2

      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?

  • @cristalm3606
    @cristalm3606 Před rokem +1

    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 😅

      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.
