Available Thermometer Types

There are several types of thermometers available, from digital thermometers to contactless thermometers. If you’re trying to figure out which thermometer is right for you, think about how you will primarily be using the thermometer. A simple digital probe thermometer that takes temperature through the mouth, armpit, or rectum might be best if it will only be used at home for yourself and family, while a contactless thermometer that scans the forehead from a distance may be a better option for a business or the workplace.

Which Type of Thermometer is the Most Accurate?

Thermometers are the most accurate when they are available from a trusted brand, such as Braun or Medline. It’s important to follow directions when using a thermometer, to make sure that the temperature is as accurate as possible. For example, contactless thermometers need to be held at a certain distance while most digital thermometers could be placed under the tongue or armpit until the thermometer makes a beeping noise.
