Pinard Stethoscope Plastic 15cm

Clinical Application

Acoustic fetal auscultation for prenatal visits and intrapartum intermittent monitoring. This hand-held device is used by obstetricians, midwives, nurses and birth attendants to localize and listen to fetal heart tones without reliance on batteries or electronic equipment. It is suited to routine screening, reassuring fetal viability checks, and low-resource settings where Doppler or electronic fetal monitoring may not be available or necessary.

Design & Configuration

The tapered, hollow-cone geometry concentrates and transmits acoustic energy from the maternal abdomen to a single listening end, enabling focused detection of fetal heart sounds. At 15 cm overall length the instrument provides adequate reach for a range of maternal body habitus while remaining lightweight and easy to maneuver. The monaural configuration is simple to position and requires minimal training compared with electronic alternatives, and the plastic construction reduces weight and removes the need for power or disposable batteries.
