Stethoscopes for conducting medical diagnostics of a patient by professional healthcare providers.

Stethoscopes are diagnostic instruments used by healthcare professionals to listen to internal sounds of the body, such as the heart, lungs, and gastrointestinal system. They consist of a chestpiece, which is placed on the patient's body, and connected to flexible tubing and earpieces. The chest piece contains one or two sides: a diaphragm for high-frequency sounds and a bell for low-frequency sounds. By placing the chest piece on specific areas of the body, healthcare professionals can auscultate and interpret various sounds, aiding in the diagnosis and monitoring of conditions such as heart murmurs, lung abnormalities, and bowel sounds. Stethoscopes are indispensable tools for healthcare providers in their clinical practice.
