Question 4: Where is the hand-engraving done on my stethoscope, and will it delay shipping?
Stethoscopes from Littmann and Welch Allyn are available for personalized engraving. Redding Medical will hand-engrave two initials FREE on most stethoscopes. It is done on the chestpiece of the stethoscope onto the metal. The hand-engraving is a special feature of Redding Medical equipment supply, and it is offered to provide identification in case of theft or loss.
The hand-engraving does not delay the shipment of your order.

Question 5: Can I hear better with a shorter length stethoscope?
3M Littmann has provided research regarding stethoscope tubing length. They found that the human ear can not detect the difference in the various tubing lengths. In fact, they found that the lower (bell) sounds are heard better with longer tubing length.
Plus, an added benefit of longer tubing in stethoscopes is that it provides a greater distance from ill patients and is ergonomically beneficial on your back.
We have also found that the shorter length stethoscope does not hang around your neck as easily.
