Temporal Artery Thermometer
The thermometer you've been waiting for has arrived.
The Temporal Artery Thermometer uses infrared light to scan the temporal artery. "With a gentle stroke of the forehead it captures the naturally emitted heat from the skin over the temporal artery," according to manufacturers, "taking 1,000 readings per second, selecting the most accurate."
According to a Harvard Medical School study, the Exergen TemporalScanner is even more accurate than ear thermometers and comparable in accuracy to the rectal thermometer in another hospital study.
Suzy's sister, Katy, has been stunned by the precision and how easy it is to use--you can take the kids' temperature when they are sleeping!
Available at most drugstores, Wal-mart, Target or online. Manufactured by several companies. Prices begin at $29.99 and go up to $300 dollars for the Bentley of the bunch.
