Why choose an electronic digital thermometer?

These thermometers are popular because of their fast display speed and ease of use. Some models also have non-contact infrared technology.

Display speed: electronic thermometers have a faster display speed than traditional analog glass models. Some anal thermometers offer a very fast digital display, around 20 seconds, which is an undeniable advantage when taking the temperature of an infant for example.

Ease of use: electronic thermometers allow easy and clear reading of the measurement on a digital display. When the temperature is taken, an audible signal also indicates to the user that the temperature can be read.

Non-contact infrared models: these thermometers allow remote temperature measurement without touching the patient’s body.

Advantages: these models greatly limit the risk of contagion. They offer better hygiene and safety. They allow you to take a patient’s temperature without disturbing them. This is particularly useful when taking the temperature of a sleeping child, for example.

Disadvantages: the temperature measurement is generally less reliable than analog or electronic models with contact because the measurement is taken “outside the body.” They are also more expensive.
