Triple Head Stethoscope

Triple head stethoscope is a stethoscope you don't see widely used anymore. The acoustics are great. Anybody else remember this classic stethoscope.

Yup, I used to have a doctor, she was an internal medicine doc who had one. She moved to a different position kind of far away or I would still be seeing her today.

Yes indeed, I own 2 myself

Good sound, and cold chestpieces

Welch-Allyn still makes them. They're known as Harvey cardiology steths. Had a stething session a few years ago with a woman who had one. Best acoustic steth I've ever used. This woman had a murmur from a bad aortic valve (she has since had a valve job) that I was able to hear with amazng clarity along with her other heart sounds.

All of Welch Allyn’s cardiology-aimed stethoscopes are in the Harvey range. This one is the Harvey DLX Triple (there is also a double headed Harvey DLX and the Harvey Elite - I have examples of all of them in my collection).

I've got a Harvey triple head stethoscope - one bell head and two diaphragms - one smooth, the other corrugated. The sound quality is excellent. The only unusual thing is that the tube to the chestpiece is rather long compared to other Harvey's I've got.

Unfortunately I never had the chance to try this type of stethoscope... I hope to have the chance to do it one day on a nice chest and abdomen...

I've got the Harvey Double Head, old school with rubber rather than vinyl tubes Brilliant!!

My husband and I being cardiophiles, have 18 stethoscopes and counting in our collection. But I’ve been dying to add A triple head steth to the collection. 🥰 My old cardiologist had a triple head and it was so wonderful having it used on me! 😉

I have a Harvey triple head don’t really use it much but works great. I know a nurse who uses one in the emergency room she says it works great for those hard to hear and peds patients.

I saw a doctor with one in a hospital in the early 1990s. I didn’t know that type existed and I couldn’t take my eyes off it (imagining what it would be like to use it). I finally bought one a few years ago and love it! Three times the listening pleasure…

I remember them but have never been stethed by one

The pediatric cardiologist I was on a follow up at had one(Welch Allyn). I secretly wished I could give it a test drive but didn't actually ever dared to ask.
