Market Definition and Overview
A stethoscope is a medical instrument used by healthcare professionals to listen to internal sounds in the human body, such as heartbeats, lung sounds, and bowel movements. It typically consists of a chest piece with a diaphragm (a flat, circular piece) or a bell (a smaller, cup-shaped piece) , tubing to carry sound, and ear tips that the user places in their ears.
The term "stethoscope" comes from the Greek words "stethos" (chest) and "skopein" (to look at or examine) . It symbolizes the practice of auscultation, a key method in diagnosing various health conditions and monitoring patient health. By using a stethoscope, healthcare providers can detect abnormal sounds or changes that might indicate an underlying health issue, like a heart murmur, lung infection, or other conditions.
