This traditional stethoscope features a hollow, horn- shaped design approximately 18 cm in length. It is gently placed against the mother's s abdomen near the fetal heart to pick up clear heartbeats without relying on batteries or electronic amplification. Lightweight and easy to use, it is especially valuable in natural birth settings and for training midwives.
