forehead thermometer

Touchless temperature reader

A forehead thermometer is a device that measures body temperature by scanning the temporal artery or skin surface of the forehead.

It provides a quick, non-invasive reading—useful for squirming children or sleeping patients.

Also called a temporal thermometer.

The nurse ran a forehead thermometer across the baby's brow.
