Description
- Provides accurate measurement of skin surface temperature and may be placed on the skin surface at any site on the body ; recommended placement sites are axilla, forehead or any other skin surface as clinically indicated
- Soft adhesive foam disk allows for easy placement and removal
- Mylar backing provides insulation from heat lamps and other lighting to improve sensor accuracy
- Thinner leadwire is less stiff and more pliable for application on the skin and reduces the interference of ambient air on the temperature reading (the stem effect)
- The sensor is embedded in the center of the foam disk to reduce the likelihood of sensor separation from the foam, and also decreases the risk of irritation in patients with thin, sensitive skin
