acoustic stethoscope

An acoustic stethoscope is a medical tool that allows healthcare professionals to listen to internal body sounds, like the heartbeat and lungs, through small chest pieces connected by flexible tubing to earpieces. It amplifies these sounds so clinicians can assess health status and detect issues such as abnormal heartbeats, lung conditions, or blood flow problems. The device relies on sound conduction through the tubing and chest piece, providing a non-invasive, immediate way to evaluate vital signs and internal organ function during a physical examination.
