SPUDs could bring stethoscopes to the modern era

Most of the stethoscopes that the majority of the clinicians use have more or less maintained a similar form factor and functionality over the last few decades. While these stethoscopes are not exactly all that rigid, their do have a rather limited flexibility which might make it rather challenging to access a person’s chest during emergency situations. Stethoscope Technologies has come up with a sound pick-up device (SPUD) which is actually a chestpiece – and this chestpiece can be hooked up to just about any other pair of headphones.
