You can now put ANY of your own heart, lung, or other sounds as
well as ours, ANYWHERE on a live patient or mannequin,
for SIMULATION, TEACHING or TESTING - WIRELESSLY!


The Ventriloscope is an extremely reliable and realistic system for the
wireless transmission of any sound into a realistic stethoscope.

Coming Soon:
  • Heart sounds synchronized with those of a live patient or mannequin!
  • Simulate any percussion finding on a live patient or mannequin!

What do you do when your mannequin's sound system goes down on "testing day"? You can rely on our LOW COST system as a "spare tire" to save the day!

Test physical exam-finding recognition in a highly standardized way!

Allow your students to compare "right" and "wrong" sounds instantaneously! Students can teach each other and LEARN TWICE, saving instructor time!

Expand your sim capacity by training medically knowledgeable people to do high fidelity simulations in less than one hour!

Take your Standardized Patient or High Fidelity simulator program to the next level…

The Ventriloscope is:
  •  Simple to use!
  •  Low cost
  •  Lightweight and portable (about 5 ounces or 150 grams!)

  •  Fetal heart tones or any other sounds!
  •  Not limited to certain areas of the body or mannequin
  •  Standardized patient or instructor can start or stop loops of recordings on command
