Stethoscope cases

Two cases from Littmann — a hard one that can take being at the bottom of the bag and a soft one that weighs less and takes up less space.

What ruins a stethoscope is rarely use but transport: the chestpiece that gets knocked, the diaphragm that gets scratched and the tubing that gets kinked at the bottom of a full bag. A case is the cheapest insurance against all three.

Hard or soft

The hard case has a rigid shell and protects the chestpiece against knocks and pressure. Choose it if the stethoscope lies loose in a backpack or emergency bag together with heavier equipment, or if you commute with it every day.

The soft case weighs less and takes up less space. It protects against scratches, dust and dirt rather than impacts, and suits you if you keep the stethoscope in a compartment of its own or leave it in your locker between shifts.

Both also prevent what does the most damage over time: the tubing lying sharply bent. Tubing left at a sharp angle day after day becomes stiff at the fold, and the stiffness cannot be undone afterwards — here the case is the difference between a few years and an entire working life.

Care

Wipe the tubing and chestpiece before putting the stethoscope away, and do not place it in the case while damp. If the diaphragm has already taken a beating, diaphragms and eartips for every series are available under stethoscope spare parts. The full range of stethoscopes is in the main category.

Vanliga frågor om stethoscope cases

Do the cases fit all Littmann models?

The cases are made for Littmann stethoscopes and hold the common series with the chestpiece and the tubing coiled up. A cardiology-size chestpiece takes up more space than one from the Lightweight II SE, so expect the hard case to be tighter with the larger models. Coil the tubing loosely, never tightly.

Do I really need a case?

No, but it determines how long the stethoscope lasts. If it lies loose among other equipment, the diaphragm gets scratched and the tubing develops permanent kinks. If you have a dedicated compartment in your bag, the soft case is enough; if the stethoscope shares a bag with heavier items, the hard case is what actually protects it.

How should the stethoscope be stored between shifts?

Cool, dry and without the tubing bent. Avoid letting it hang around your neck all day or lie in the sun on the instrument table — heat and skin oils age the tubing faster than use does. Wipe the chestpiece according to the manufacturer's instructions and place it in the case dry.
