Littmann Select Stethoscope Burgundy The tubing is somewhat stiff, about halfway, but it has been used without any functional issues. It's not so stiff that it won't bend. There are some ink stains in a few places, but they're not very noticeable because of the burgundy color. I liked it because it's thin and light. I'm selling this one because I bought another one. Since this is a used item, please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned. Please make price reduction requests through the price reduction request feature. I will disinfect it with alcohol wipes before shipping. 3M Littmann Series Having a stethoscope at home allows you to listen to heart sounds and murmurs, check for aspiration sounds, and observe the state of bowel sounds before meals. It seems it can be used not only by medical professionals such as nurses and nursing students, but also for home health management, such as checking fetal movement sounds and for caregiving. - Brand: Littmann - No engraving Littmann Select
