The head type of a stethoscope, such as single-head or dual-head, is a key consideration because it determines the versatility and intended clinical application. Single-head stethoscopes are typically optimal for general auscultation and provide clear, focused sound, while dual-head stethoscopes offer both a diaphragm and a bell, making them suitable for both high and low-frequency sounds. Medline Diagnostic products offer both types, such as the Single-Head Stethoscope for simplicity and the Dual-Head Stethoscopes for greater versatility. Having a choice allows users to select the best tool for their practice and patient needs.
