15cm
Some clinicians prefer metal over wood when it comes to the Pinard horn, and this 15cm aluminium version gives them that option without changing how the instrument works. It keeps the same trumpet shape that has defined fetal auscultation for generations, with the wide bell placed against the mother’s abdomen and the narrow end held to the ear to pick up fetal heart tones directly. Aluminium construction makes this version noticeably lighter than a wooden horn of similar size, which matters for midwives and nurses who are on their feet through long shifts of antenatal visits.
Being metal rather than wood also means this horn wipes down more easily between patients, a practical point for busy maternity units and community clinics handling a steady flow of appointments. As part of NextEdge Surgical’s range of clinical diagnostic instruments, this compact 15cm size works well for antenatal screening, labor monitoring, and teaching settings where students are learning fetal heart auscultation technique for the first time.
For practices that want the simplicity of the Pinard method with a slightly more durable, easy to maintain build, this aluminium version is a sensible standard to keep on hand. It requires no charging and no calibration, just correct placement and a quiet room. Update your diagnostic assessment kit today.
