A forehead thermometer is a thermometer which measures body temperature via the forehead using the infrared principle. In most cases it concerns a contactless thermometer. This means that the temperature at a short distance from the forehead can be measured without coming into contact with the patient.
The technology of forehead thermometers has improved in recent years. This makes the devices in general very reliable. Since 2018, the infrared forehead thermometer has even been used in the UMCG to replace the ear thermometer. In addition, the thermometer is widely used in other branches of healthcare and checkpoints.
Of course, there is a difference in the various head thermometers offered. Do not expect very accurate measurements from a device costing a few euros. Do you have doubts about the reliability of a device? Then read the reviews to find out what other users think. Nobraa only offers reliable thermometers of the highest quality.
Use of a head thermometer has many advantages over other types of thermometers. We list them for you.
In addition to its many advantages, a head thermometer also has some disadvantages. We would like to point this out to you as well.
Only when used correctly will the thermometer provide an accurate measurement. Not every head thermometer works non-contact. Some devices need to be placed against the forehead and then pushed through the temple to the cavity under the ear. Other devices can be held a few centimetres away from the head to measure the temperature. There are also devices that can measure the temperature of liquids, such as the baby's bath water, in addition to body temperature.
Whichever device you have, we recommend always reading the instructions carefully before taking a measurement.
