Question 1

Can I bend my stethoscope?

Accepted Answer

Do not bend or contort the tubing of your stethoscope, as this can cause tearing in the PVC. One of the most common ways that this happens is by stuffing a stethoscope in your pocket, so try to avoid this practice. The tubing is one of the most fragile parts of your stethoscope, and as a result is most prone to damage.

Question 2

Why do my stethoscope tubing get hard?

Accepted Answer

The majority of tubing used on stethoscopes is made of PVC (polyvinylchloride), which becomes hard when exposed for long periods of time to the lipids found in human skin.

Question 3

What is the difference between cardiology stethoscope and regular stethoscope?

Accepted Answer

A regular stethoscope is designed to allow a user to listen to the inner workings of the body, such as a heartbeat, a pulse in an extremity, a bowel sound or fluid in the lungs. A cardiology stethoscope allows the user to listen for and identify specific heart sounds such as clicks, murmurs and rubs.

Question 4

What does “ acoustic property” mean in a stethoscope?
