stethoscope design

A stethoscope is a medical instrument designed to listen to internal body sounds. It typically has a chest piece with a flat or dome-shaped diaphragm that detects high-frequency sounds like heartbeats and lungs. The chest piece connects to flexible tubing, which transmits these sounds to earpieces worn by the healthcare provider. The tubing isolates external noise, making it easier to hear subtle internal sounds. The design allows for accurate auscultation, helping doctors assess health by listening to the body's natural sounds. Overall, it’s a precise tool that facilitates non-invasive internal examinations.
