- Small Diaphragm: This attachment is designed to hear infant heart sounds of a high pitched nature.
- Adult Diaphragm: Used to pinpoint low and medium-pitched sounds and murmurs.
- Medium-Sized Bell: Concentrates on narrow spots (e.g. in between ribs or any other small places) to detect low- and medium-pitched sounds or murmurs.
- Infant-Sized Bell: Ideal for the examination of infants and small children. Low- and medium-pitched sounds and murmurs emitted from infant hearts are best sensed by this bell.
