Buying Stethoscopes at a Discounted Price

Stethoscopes are one of the most commonly used tools in the Health care profession. There isn't one RN or doctor walking around the hospital without a stethoscope and if they are they'd be fired (at least where I work). Most health care professionals get their stethoscopes at a discounted price directly from the sources. Why pay more if you don't have too right?. People can find nearly any type of stethoscope at discount prices. There are a number of ways to get discount stethoscopes. Most medical supply wholesalers are willing to give you a good discounted price if you buy in bulk. Now maybe you personally wouldn't want to buy 40 stethoscopes just to get a discount (you might only want 2 of them) but your employer might jump at the deal adding it as an incentive to employees. Another way is to contact the manufacture directly a good percent of the time they are willing to sell their product without the markup value attached to it.

Technology - Just like in any other field older versions will be cheaper than the newer ones. There are a lot of doctors that ooo and ahh at the newest model from littmann and (insert your favorite brand here) and there are those that don't need the latest feature they realize that the older model still gets the job done and majority of the time the older technology is sold at a discounted price..

5 things to look for when buying older stethoscopes

1. Exactly how dated is the stethoscope?
2. In what condition is it in?
3. Why is it being discounted does it still function or are there just some cosmetic issues
4. See if you still get a warranty of the discounted item
5. How much (heh heh)
