Why UltraScope?
Auscultation
Auscultation with the UltraScope Stethoscope is very easy. The UltraScope's unique, rounded, single-sided acrylic head offers efficiency in auscultation. Sounds are easily monitored by alternating pressure between auscultation sites. Use very light pressure for low frequency responses, firmer pressure for higher frequency responses. Too much pressure will block all sound.
Performance
The UltraScope Excels in medically challenging
situations. It is as good as any cardiology scope on the market. To listen on skin is always optimal, but there are many situations that require otherwise. The UltraScope works in excessively noisy environments, through multiple layers of clothing or bandages, or when it is preferable patients remain dressed.
Blood Pressure Assessments
The UltraScope
Stethoscope is excellent
for blood pressure assessments. Yes, our stethoscope head is large and does not fit under the cuff; but it shouldn't fit under the cuff. According to "Human Blood Pressure Determination by Sphygmomanometry" copyright 1994, by the American Heart Association, the head of the stethoscope should always be placed below the edge of the cuff, never touching it, to avoid extraneous noise that can interfere with assessment.
