Canada
Part of a large collection of medical artifacts, archival material & trade literature transferred to CSTM in 2002 from the former History of Medicine Museum, Toronto, Ont.
Function
Instrument used to amplify sounds from within the body, including heartbeat, pulse and breathing so that they may be heard by the user.
Technical
Roberts style monaural allows instrument shaft to be inserted crosswise through earpiece, reducing size for ease of carrying. The earpiece is attached in the traditional manner when in actual use. (Ref. 4) First monaural stethoscope invented in France in 1816: compact and rugged, the instrument greatly improved the physician's ability to listen to internal body sounds. Monaural used exclusively c. 1820-1850 when binaural stethoscope introduced.
