ADC's Adscope stethoscopes are recognized the world over for unrivaled acoustic performance, rugged durability, practitioner comfort, and unsurpassed value. With our Cardiology Series, you get the best of the best.
Cardiology instruments aren’t just for cardiologists, of course. They’re a great choice for any healthcare professional that wants superior acoustic performance and diagnostic versatility. If you’re in the market for a new cardiology stethoscope, we recommend starting your search by choosing the ADC Adscope brand.
ADC cardiology scopes are easily recognized by their distinctive headset:
- Two sound channels for improved stereo separation
- Soft and flexible PVC tubing built with extra mass to reduce ambient noise
- Large bore aural tubes, made from either German stainless steel or aluminum alloy, fixed at 15° to comfortably fit the ear canal and provide a proper acoustic seal
All cardiology models are individually acoustic tested in our New York facility to ensure a reliable aural pathway – something no other major manufacturer does. And all come with a lifetime warranty, complimentary refurbishment, and free parts forever, which translates to a lifetime of savings.
But which model should you choose? Consider these variables:
| Model | Chestpiece Style | Chestpiece Material | Diaphragm Style | Finish Options | Perfect for | Pricing |
