Ever Ready First Aid Dual Head Stethoscope - Purple

Outstanding

My aspiring brain surgeon granddaughter absolutely love this when she opened it at ChristmasWhat she doesn’t know is that I accidentally ordered two so now I have one when she accidentally breaks hers… she loved the color

I knew this was probably going to be cheap as the price but never tought it was full on a kid sized toy or a prop. Review are confusing because it has high stars, but is due to parents who purchased it as a toy. The ones who convinced me to get it was one whelp said they were a medical student. I know no good professor would tale.this seriously so I am worried if any nurse student is using these.I wanted it to monitor my dogs heart as he has a heart murmur and gets syncope episodes. I need to see if his heart rate is dropping or increasing during that episode. Also to see if the meds are doing their job.However this apparatus has tons of interference and if you use it like you should, no one has a heart beat. But you can hear all other sounds so its good if you want to hear gossip. If you use it backwards and put the metal part on the heart, then you can faintly hear something. On my dog with the murmur it is better as his heart beat is very loud, however there is too much interference to keep me concentrated and I need to count his heart beats per minute.My nephews, 3 and 6 year olds are having a blast pretending they can hear hearts.Save your money. This is not even good to measure Blood pressure. If you need it for a patient or a si lck doggie, then get a better one.

I use this stethoscope for taking manual blood pressures at home. Our doctor really doesn’t trust The at home electronic blood pressure. She would rather us use a manual one which I know know how to do. With the virtual doctors appointments I do both so she can see the contrast.

At this low price I was very skeptical but decided to try them anyhow. I was not disappointed. I just wanted something for my first aid kit because we live out in the boonies and I wanted to add this to my assessment kit, to help decide when it is time to make the long trek to a medical facility. I don’t think you are going to find a medical professional using these in most circumstances, but for the layperson who doesn’t want to spend a lot of money they will probably suit your needs.Mine came in a box, packaged in zip bags and needed assembly. It is pretty intuitive, but there were no instructions so if there were any little tricks to be missed, I probably missed them. Also, the description says there are extra ear pieces so you can choose the ones that best fit your ear canal but mine had none of these and I would not describe them as comfortable because the plastic is rather hard. I messed with them a bit, pulling the plastic closer to the end of the tubes and that helped a bit. Also, the metal part comes flat and you need to know that you should twist them into the V-shape so they go into the ear canal properly. They must be adjusted properly for comfort and effectiveness. Also, as mentioned in other reviews, the diaphragm is the type that twists, so if you can’t hear anything flip it around until it clicks; one direction gives good sound and the other doesn’t. It flips so you can using either the small side or the large one but must be in the correct position for the one you are using for good results.Quick tip: If you’ve never used a stethoscope before, do yourself a favor and check out some you tube vids. There are some good ones that will tell you how to adjust it for your use and go over the basics of placement points and how the “patient” should breath, etc. There are a few basics you can learn in around 10 minutes that will greatly improve your experience with this tool.So, at this price it is a great value, cheap enough to give kids a real working tool for their first doctor kit, and I think most people who want this kind of extra for their home medical kit would find it satisfactory as well. And I’m guessing the people who say it doesn’t work are people who don’t know how to properly adjust and use the tool.

I did not expect much at this price. My grand daughter wanted a real stethoscope and this worked great for that. It has lasted a few years as a toy. Never tried it for its intended use.

Great value!

Wanted a simple stethoscope for my grandson and wife to listen to their unborn baby's heartbeat! Perfect!
