Thermometers you can trust

A thermometer is an indispensable tool in every home’s first aid kit. From traditional models to cutting-edge technology, the Healthylife range will ensure you have the most suitable device to monitor your family’s health.

How does a thermometer work?

Different thermometers work in different ways. Traditional thermometers, such as digital stick varieties, measure the body’s internal temperature through sensors that detect heat. Infrared thermometers don’t need to make contact with skin; they read the skin’s surface temperature by sensing the infrared energy emitted by the body.

What are the different types of thermometers?

At Healthylife, our selection includes mercury-free, rapid, ear and digital ‘stick’ thermometers – perfect for underarm or oral measurements – as well as sophisticated infrared devices that measure heat emitted from the forehead or ear. 

Each thermometer type has its own set of advantages, whether it’s the child-friendly rapid readings of an ear thermometer or the hygiene and convenience of touchless forehead thermometers.

Which thermometer should you choose?

Deciding which thermometer you should choose depends on several factors, including ease of use, accuracy and the age of those who might have their temperature checked. 

Digital thermometers are renowned for their accuracy and speed and typically provide a reading in seconds. They are versatile and suitable for underarm, oral, or rectal measurements, making them ideal for all family members. For infants or those looking for an instant, non-invasive method, ear or infrared forehead thermometers provide a comfortable and quick way to get a temperature without the need for physical contact.

How to use a thermometer

How to use a thermometer effectively depends on the type of thermometer and the measurement technique. For digital thermometers, ensure the area of use (under the arm, mouth or rectum) is clean and dry. Position the thermometer according to the guidelines and wait for the beep to signal that the reading is complete. Ear thermometers require careful insertion into the ear canal, while infrared thermometers only need to be pointed towards the forehead. Remember, for accurate readings, follow the manufacturer's directions that come with your thermometer.
