THERMOMETERS

An oral thermometer is a medical device designed to measure body temperature by placing it in the mouth, under the tongue. It usually consists of a digital or glass mercury thermometer that reads the temperature accurately.

An oval thermometer is a type of thermometer that features an oval-shaped design, typically for ease of use and better grip. While the term “oval thermometer” isn’t specifically tied to a unique function, it generally refers to a thermometer that might be used for measuring body temperature, ambient temperature, or even specific substances, depending on its intended use. The unique shape can provide more ergonomic handling and may also contribute to its aesthetic appeal.

A digital thermometer is a medical device used to measure body temperature. It utilizes electronic heat sensors to record temperature readings quickly and accurately. Digital thermometers can be used orally, rectally, or under the armpit (axillary).
