Non-invasive, Robust, and Very Easy to Use
Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers offer numerous advantages over traditional ear and other thermometer types. Benjamin Kalm, Exergen’s Commercial Director for Latin America and the Caribbean, highlighted some of these benefits: “Our thermometers are non-invasive, which is ideal for both healthcare settings and home use. They are extremely easy to use, highly affordable, and incredibly robust. What makes them particularly stand out is their environmental impact. Unlike ear thermometers, which require disposable plastic caps between each patient, our Temporal Artery Thermometers need only a simple wipe with a cotton cloth and medicinal alcohol to prevent cross-contamination. This makes them a green solution that aligns with modern sustainability goals in healthcare.”
Why Monitoring Our Temperature is Essential
“Unlike traditional thermometers, which may require additional steps like using disposable plastic caps or complex calibration, Exergen’s Temporal Artery Thermometers provide simplicity and accuracy,” said Ivan Acosta Campos., General Manager, Ivan Quirurgico.“Their non-invasive nature makes them ideal regular use by caregivers whether they are at home, in a clinic, or in a hospital.”
