Stethoscopes Littmann Classic III vs Cardiology IV
Kenya prices, who each model is for, and when the extra KSh 19,499 is wasted.
| Classic III | Cardiology IV | |
|---|---|---|
| Kenya price | KSh 5,500 | KSh 24,999 |
| Tubing | Single lumen | Dual lumen |
| Paediatric side | Yes, convertible bell | Yes |
| Warranty | 5 years | 7 years |
| Buy if | Ward, clinic, internship | ICU, cardiology clinic |
Buy the Classic III at KSh 5,500 unless you work cardiology or critical care every day. Cardiology IV at KSh 24,999 earns the extra money only when dual-lumen quiet and high-frequency detail change your decisions.
Classic III already covers adult and paediatric on one chestpiece. That is the requirement for most Kenyan medical officers. Cardiology IV is the right second scope, not the right first one.
