1758903915Code 8246 StethoscopeStethoscope made of fruit tree wood, English manufacture, early 1900s. Measurements: 4.5 x 15.4 cm - 1.8 x 6.1 in. Good condition.
The stethoscope is an instrument used to listen to a patient's heart or lungs: it allows sounds to be transmitted without requiring the doctor to place their ear directly on the patient's skin.
The stethoscope (from the Greek στήθος, stéthos, chest, and σκοπή, skopé, observation) was invented in France in 1816 by René-Théophile-Hyacinthe Laennec. It is said that he came up with the idea after being forced to use a rolled-up notebook to listen to the heartbeat of an obese patient because he could not listen to her by simply placing his ear to hers. The stethoscope was later perfected using a wooden cylinder.
They were made of various materials and had different shapes; some were made of two pieces, making them easier to carry in a bag.
