Review on Black ADC Adscope 603BK: Premium Stainless Steel Clinician Stethoscope With Tunable AFD Technology And Improved SEO, Product Code 3001697 by David Cash

After owning a Littmann Classic II for 2-3 years the tubing became very rigid. I put it in storage for 2 and 1/2 years and recently brought it out again to use it. I noticed large cracks in the tubing nearly rendering the stethoscope useless. After consulting with Littmann I found out that it would cost nearly as much to send in my stethoscope and have the tubing replaced as it would cost to buy a new stethoscope ($60 vs $80). I remembered using an ADC when I was in nursing school and thinking that the quality was exceptional. The one that I had used previously was an ADC cardiology model of some type. I didn't want to spend a whole lot on a new stethoscope however and just needed a basic one so I decided to give the ADC Adscope 603 Clinician Stethoscope a chance. At $35 it was easy to justify giving it a chance. I have to say that I am very satisfied with this stethoscope. It is as good of quality, if not better than a Littmann Classic and the sound quality is far superior to any Littmann Classic that I have used. it also has slightly longer tubing than a Littmann Classic which helps you keep your distance from patients who have unpleasant smells. After buying this ADC stethoscope I will never go back to Littmann. The price and quality are exceptional for this ADC stethoscope and every other ADC stethoscope that I have used.
