Exergen Temporal Artery Thermometer

A forehead scan works without waking or undressing a sleeping baby, unlike a rectal reading, though it is worth noting temporal readings run slightly less precise than rectal ones for very young infants.

This is a regulated medical device; the housing and sensor casing are plastic, and there is no non-plastic option that still functions as an accurate thermometer.
