Laënnec type Pediatric Stethoscope, C 1880
On application
Laennec-type paediatric rosewood monaural stethoscope of c. 1880.
There was no “Laennec pediatric stethoscope”; Laënnec invented the first stethoscope in 1816, which was a wooden tube designed for general auscultation, not specifically for children. Pediatric stethoscopes, a later development, have smaller chest pieces and are designed for a narrow focus on the smaller anatomy and specific lung and heart sounds of infants and children.
