So much more civilized than having your doctor’s ear to your chest! THANK YOU, Renee Laennec!

The French physician Laënnec’s original stethoscope design, developed to transmit sounds from the patient’s heart and lungs, was a hollow tube of wood 10 inches long and approximately 1.5 inches in diameter.

A portion of the proceeds from sales of this design will benefit those seeking education in veterinary medicine.
