chest piece
Heart-sound amplifying disc
A chest piece is the part of a stethoscope that presses against the body to detect sounds—heartbeats, breathing, bowel activity.
It typically has two sides: a flat diaphragm for higher-pitched sounds and a bell-shaped cup for lower frequencies.
The chest piece connects via tubing to the earpieces.
The doctor warmed the chest piece before placing it on the patient's skin.
