Quality digital thermometers for adults and kids
Body temperature is one of the leading indicators of the state of our health. Increased or decreased temperatures may indicate some potential body system failure, a virus or a disease. When you or someone in your family starts to feel unwell, the first thing to do is check your temperature, and Chempro Chemists is here to help. With our large selection of digital thermometers for adults and children, you're sure to find the one that's convenient and reliable for you.
The classic digital stick thermometer allows you to measure temperature in three ways: rectal, oral and axillary (armpit). Such medical devices provide precise results in 30 seconds, have a large LCD, and are durable, compact and easy to use.
We also offer a varietyr of digital infrared thermometers from reliable brands like Omron, Braun, Able, Aeon and more. They work faster and have more options for use taking readings of infrared radiation from various areas: ear, temporal region, and forehead. The whole procedure takes 1-2 seconds, and the results appear on the screen.
Some models don't even require skin contact and can work at a distance of 5-8 mm from the forehead or ear. For example, the Omron digital forehead thermometer MC-720 can measure the temperature from one to three centimetres away from the forehead and give results within a second. The Braun ear thermometer also takes less than a second to measure the temperature and has a unique positioning system with light and sound confirmation, so the reading is accurate.
Remote monitoring is especially convenient for babies and young kids. However, digital ear thermometers aren't recommended for infants under six months old. There is also an important factor to consider when interpreting your results: the temperature in the mouth is higher than in the armpit by 0.3-0.6 °C, and in the ear - up to 1.2 °C.
Choosing the right digital thermometer
When choosing a digital thermometer, consider the following factors:
- Display. Consider the display size and the clarity of the information displayed. Ideally, the device should be equipped with a backlight, so you can measure the temperature at night without turning on the light.
- Tip type. For most models, the tips are arranged the same. However, some thermometers have flexible or flat tips, which are convenient for axillary measurement.
- Memories. The internal memory of many models can store up to 25 past measurements. It is handy when tracking the dynamics of body temperature changes.
- Time of measurement. Most digital thermometers display readings after 1-2 minutes. However, innovative infrared devices can display results in seconds.
- Durability. The material must be resistant to damage and scratches. Most devices also have good waterproofing, allowing you to wash and disinfect them after use.
