Riester Stethoscopes 2.0 – simply better hearing!
60 years of experience in developing and manufacturing of stethoscopes, paired with the
innovation power and the uncompromisingly high standard of quality of a globally successful
company allowed Riester to set a new standard for stethoscopes. The completely new
constructed cardiophon 2.0 and duplex® 2.0 assign nothing less than a quantum leap
in the quality of acoustics.
Experience in manufacturing of stethoscopes over decades and out of the box thinking
went hand in hand while constructing cardiophon 2.0 and duplex® 2.0 completely new.
So it is the result of innovative detail solutions, which in the end lead to an outstanding
product.
Acoustic performance
The design of the novel chestpiece, which is signed in for utility patent, is the centrepiece of
the cardiophon 2.0 and duplex® 2.0. Sound pick-up and sound transmission have been
thoroughly reworked and added to a new overall concept, which sustains any comparisons
with regard to its acoustic performance.
Auscultation is significantly disturbed by interfering side noise. Therefore during the
construction phase of the cardiophon2.0 and the duplex® 2.0 special attention has been
paid to the design of the binaural and the ear-tips. The contact pressure of the binaural
can be adjusted individually; the ear-tips are pivotable and made of extra-soft material.
Altogether the ear canal is perfectly sealed against external side noise. In addition,
disturbing noise due to the friction between the ear-tips and the ear will be avoided, even
if the stethoscope is moving.
Quality
Riester stethoscopes are manufactured to an uncompromisingly high quality standard.
The production of the binaural for example is automated. This guarantees a perfect of
the binaural at the ear. The chest-pieces are manufactured using latest CNC-technology
to minimize any tolerances – a precondition which only then allowed to develop the novel
sound pick-up system of cardiophon 2.0 and duplex® 2.0. The continuously high
level of quality is guaranteed by multiple quality checks within the scope of our quality
management according to ISO 9001. Quality made in Germany
Wear comfort
Special importance has been attached to the wear comfort of the stethoscope as it is
carried by ist it’s user all day long. One important factor is the low weight of cardiophon
2.0 and duplex® 2.0, which has been achieved by special manufacturing techniques
and selected materials. Furthermore an unparalleled wear comfort is guaranteed by the
perfect fit of the binaural with adjustable contact pressure as well as pivotable ear-tips.
duplex®2.0 Stethoscopes from Riester are distinguished by outstanding acoustic
performance. They have been completely new constructed to meet the challenges of daily
diagnostic practice. The tube stethoscopes are available the special designs duplex®2.0,
duplex® 2.0 baby and duplex® 2.0 neonatal for auscultation of adults, children/babies
and new-borns.
• Precision double chest-piece with innovative membrane support.
