Traditional Plastic Pinard Horn
Listen for the earliest signs of life with exceptional clarity using this Traditional Plastic Pinard Horn. Designed for midwives, obstetricians, and expecting parents, this hollow, bell-shaped acoustic stethoscope provides a reliable, non-electronic method for monitoring the fetal heartbeat during pregnancy. Lightweight, durable, and easily sanitized.
Product Overview: The Pinard Horn (or fetal stethoscope) is a beautifully simple, time-tested obstetric instrument used worldwide for auscultating the heart rate of a developing fetus. Free from electronics, batteries, or ultrasound waves, it offers a completely natural and non-invasive way to connect with the baby and monitor fetal health during prenatal check-ups or home births.
Crafted from high-quality, durable black plastic, this fetoscope is designed to capture and amplify low-frequency acoustic sounds. The wide, bell-shaped base rests gently against the mother’s abdomen, while the flat, flared rim provides a comfortable, precise seal against the practitioner’s ear, effectively transmitting the sound of the fetal heartbeat directly to the listener.
Key Features:
- Reliable Acoustic Amplification: The hollow, trumpet-like shape naturally amplifies the fetal heartbeat, allowing for clear listening without the need for electronic Doppler devices.
- Safe & Non-Invasive: Operates purely on acoustic principles, meaning zero exposure to battery-operated equipment or ultrasound technology—completely safe for both mother and baby.
- Lightweight & Durable: Made from thick, premium hard plastic that will not shatter, making it highly portable and perfect for a midwife’s on-the-go medical bag.
- Ergonomic Design: Features a wide maternal bell that sits comfortably on the pregnant abdomen and a smooth, flat earpiece for the listener’s comfort during prolonged evaluations.
- Easy to Sanitize: The smooth, non-porous plastic surface allows for rapid and thorough cleaning with standard medical wipes between patients.
