We will start by making a brief presentation of the instrument that will be the focus of this blog. The stethoscope is, therefore, an instrument used by several professionals, among them doctors, physiotherapists, nurses and veterinarians, to amplify body sounds of humans or animals, allowing to hear vascular, cardiac, respiratory or digestive tract sounds. This tool is not only a tool for evaluation, diagnosis and monitoring, but it is also a way of arousing proximity and empathy between the doctor and the patient in a first contact.
In a very brief summary, we will explain the whole idea of creating an intrument that would be able to channel the sound from a patient's chest into a professional's ear. Thus, René Laennec, a french doctor, in 1816, had the extraordinary idealization and later concretization of building an instrument with the above mentioned particularity. At the time, the tool came out of a rolled paper tube. Only twenty-five years later George P. Camman developed the first stethoscope, which would be used for over 100 years, with an earpiece for each ear. In the early 1960s, Dr. David Littmann, a professor at Haverd Medical School, distinguished cardiologist and internationally recognized authority in the field of electrocardiography, transformed this listening device into a vigorous diagnostic tool. A few years later, 3M acquired and continued to refine the designs he had created so that the tool could be adapted to the needs of the professional and the patient over time.
All this to introduce the great revelation. Recently, Leafsis has formed an alliance with 3M Littmann, market leader in its field, which aims to continue with the distribution of stethoscopes recognized and used worldwide. 3M has perfected and continues to excel at the model initially presented to it, innovating them in terms of tunable diaphragms, ambient noise reduction and Bluetooth connectivity. Today, it displays four different models, each with unique features. Among these models, it is possible to recognize the Lightweight model, the Classic, the Cardiology and the Electronic.
Each Littmann stethoscope offers innovations, high quality deception, advanced materials and precision manufacturing, thus maintaining an unmatched level of quality. The stethoscope undergoes a scrupulous and frequent manufacturing process and quality control, giving them the ability to maintain high performance. This performance is based on specificities such as high acoustic sensitivity, tunable diaphragms, precisely adjusted olives and soft seal, earphones that are adjustable to the ear, tubes that provide a longer instrument life, precision headphones and the lightness of the stethoscope.
The partnership with 3M Littmann was carried out in order to create a link with good professionals in order to add value for both parties, making them more competitive in the market. This is clearly associated with a positive image and the maximization of both businesses. The achievement of a partnership is of high importance, especially for companies that are starting a business.
