Neonatal Stethoscopes

Our range of neonatal stethoscopes has all of the benefits of duplex® 2.0 and duplex® and are designed specifically with the smallest chest piece to monitor and assess neonatal patients.

Auscultation of neonatal patients

A stethoscope can be used to listen to the sounds the heart make as it contracts and relaxes. By listening to various locations within the area of the heart, a doctor can identify abnormalities such as murmurs, clicks or any irregular patterns. For a healthy adult, two sounds are expected from a heartbeat: a "lub" and a "dub", forming the familiar "lub-dub" sequence.

What is the difference between duplex® 2.0 neonatal and duplex® neonatal stethoscope?

1. duplex® 2.0 neonatal has the spring integrated, whereas duplex® neonatal has an external spring.
2. duplex® 2.0 neonatal has pivotable ear-tips, whereas duplex® neonatal has fixed ear-tips.
3. duplex® 2.0 neonatal has a marking to show the user which side of the chest piece is open (membrane or bell).

We continue to offer duplex® neonatal stethoscope because…

1. It is an affordable option to duplex® 2.0 neonatal
2. It is appropriate for some tenders
