3M™ Littmann® Classic II Pediatric & Infant Stethoscopes
Precision Diagnostics for Growing and Newborn Patients

The 3M™ Littmann® Classic II Pediatric & Infant Stethoscopes represent the pinnacle of acoustic engineering for the youngest patient population. Purpose-built for the unique challenges of examining children and newborns, these specialized diagnostic instruments deliver exceptional acoustic sensitivity in compact designs that meet the exacting demands of pediatricians, neonatologists, and NICU healthcare professionals.

Based on the proven design principles that have made Littmann stethoscopes the gold standard in medical auscultation, the Classic II Pediatric and Infant models address the specific anatomical and clinical considerations inherent in caring for smaller patients. When every heartbeat and breath sound carries critical diagnostic significance, medical professionals require instruments capable of capturing the subtle acoustic nuances that can indicate health concerns in children and infants alike.

Littmann® Classic II Pediatric & Infant Stethoscope Key Features

• Purpose-Sized Diaphragms: 1.3-inch (3.3 cm) diaphragm on the Pediatric model and an ultra-compact 1.07-inch (2.7 cm) diaphragm on the Infant model, each sized for optimal acoustic contact with smaller chest walls
• Dual-Sided Chestpiece Design: Combines a floating diaphragm with a traditional 3/4-inch (1.9 cm) bell for comprehensive frequency range coverage
• Floating Diaphragm Technology: Augments traditional bell function to deliver exceptional acoustic sensitivity for both low and high frequency sounds
• Traditional Open Bell: Captures low-frequency cardiovascular sounds critical for detecting congenital abnormalities and murmurs
• Anatomically Angled Headset: Designed to align with ear canal pathway for superior sound transmission and reduced listening fatigue
• Adjustable Headset Tension: Customizable fit for different head sizes and extended-wear comfort during long shifts
• Snap-Tight Soft-Sealing Eartips: Provide excellent acoustic seal and comfortable fit; available in large and small sizes for personalized comfort
• Non-Chill Rim and Diaphragm: Temperature-retaining components ensure immediate patient comfort for sensitive young patients
• Non-Chill Bell Sleeve Included: Additional comfort feature for the bell side of the chestpiece

Ideal Applications and Clinical Specialties

The 3M™ Littmann® Classic II Pediatric & Infant Stethoscopes serve as indispensable diagnostic instruments across specialized child and newborn care settings:

Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICU)
NICU nurses and neonatologists depend on the Infant model for continuous monitoring of premature infants, newborns with respiratory distress, and babies requiring intensive cardiovascular assessment.

Neonatology
Specialists conducting comprehensive newborn examinations rely on the Infant model's acoustic sensitivity to detect congenital heart defects, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and other life-threatening conditions requiring immediate intervention.

General Pediatrics
Pediatricians performing routine well-child and sick visits rely on the Pediatric model to accurately assess heart, lung, and abdominal sounds across infancy through adolescence.

Pediatric Cardiology
Cardiologists use the bell's low-frequency sensitivity to identify subtle murmurs, abnormal valve sounds, and circulatory abnormalities in young cardiac patients of all ages.

Well-Baby Nurseries
Pediatricians performing routine newborn assessments benefit from the Infant model's ability to detect common conditions like innocent murmurs, transient respiratory issues, and normal developmental variations.

Pediatric Emergency Medicine
Emergency physicians treating critically ill children and infants require reliable acoustic tools capable of rapid, accurate assessment in high-pressure situations.

School and Community Health
School nurses and community health workers use the Pediatric model for routine screenings and assessments across a wide age range of school-aged children.

Home Healthcare and Follow-up Care
Visiting nurses monitoring high-risk infants and children after hospital discharge need portable, dependable diagnostic equipment for in-home assessments.

Medical Education
Medical students, nursing students, and residents specializing in pediatrics or neonatology gain essential clinical skills using professional-grade instruments that will serve them throughout their careers.
