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
Regular temperature checks, particularly during times of widespread illness or flu seasons, can help individuals detect potential health issues early. Monitoring one’s temperature twice daily is especially crucial when considering the possibility of illness. Whether for personal care or the safety of family members, using a reliable and accurate thermometer like the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer ensures that temperature readings are precise, making it easier to identify any signs of fever.
Unlike traditional thermometers, which may require additional steps like disposable plastic caps or complex calibration, Exergen’s thermometers provide simplicity and accuracy. Their non-invasive nature makes them ideal for regular use, whether at home, in a clinic, or in a hospital. By incorporating temperature monitoring into your daily routine with the Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer, you’re taking a proactive step toward maintaining health and well-being.
