U scope – Stethoscope redesigned from 0.
Beautiful Sound. Beautiful User Experience. This is a brand new FDA Approved Stethoscope.
We, at Classico, always had a simple question. ‘Why isn’t there any stylish white coat?’ This led us to create a high-end white coat that gives a boost of confidence to doctors. In the meantime, we came up with another question that we want to tackle – stethoscope.
Stethoscope was invented by a French doctor, René Laennec in 1816. Surprisingly, the basic design went unchanged for 200 years, and we learned from some doctors that they are suffering from ear-ache. We challenged the obvious in the medical industry, and redesigned the stethoscope from 0 (zero). Our answer is U scope.
Performance
We worked with the top class stethoscope manufacturers and the best product designers in the industry. However, it took us almost 3 years to conquer this challenge. The beautiful look of the product isn’t its only appeal. The design, the material and every component of the device makes it something special.
High Quality Acoustic
U scope’s beauty is not only about its look, but it’s about the quality of sound. U scope is designed so that air doesn’t escape from the diaphragm to the ear piece. This minimizes sound decay.
The most comfortable fit
Our signature streamlined shape, and its inner T-shape structure portion helps to reduce the pressure on ears by 30%.
Comfort around your neck.
This streamlined shape also fits to doctor’s neck.The shape of cubic curve, unique to auditory tube, reduced the pressure on the neck. Its round shape, based on décolleté line, is not only comfortable to wear but it also adds elegance to doctors.
Ergonomically designed chest piece.
The most notable point to mention is this special chest piece. It has been created through ergonomic designing so it fits naturally to our fingers. It also fits patient’s body and allows optimum wrist movement for doctors, resulting in better hearing.
Portability to next level.
To look smarter while not using the product, U scope can be folded so it fits into a pocket.
Reaction and Recommendations

“All the way from the earbuts down to the bell, I’ve noticed that the design is very ergonomic, very physician-friendly, very easy to use, and very comfortable. That is why I was very impressed with this single bell stethoscope.”
