STETHOSCOPE (Gr. vrijOos, chest, and UK07r6.v, to look, examine)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 903 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SOU-STE
STETHOSCOPE (Gr. vrijOos, chest, and UK07r6.v, to look, examine) , a medical
instrument
  used in auscultation (q.v.). The single
stethoscope
  is a straight wooden or metal tube with a flattened
bell
 , the surface of which is usually covered with
ivory
  or bone at the end which is placed against the
body
  of the patient, and a small cup at the other to fit- the ear of the observer. In the " binaural "
stethoscope
 , which has the advantage of flexibility, the tube is divided above the
bell
  into two flexible tubes which lead to both ears.
