Axillary thermometers

There are many different types of thermometers, but one type that is often used in healthcare settings is the axillary thermometer. This type of thermometer is placed under the arm, typically at the armpit, and is used to measure body temperature.

Axillary thermometers are a non-invasive way to measure body temperature, which makes them ideal for use with children or people who are unable to sit still for long periods of time. They are also less expensive than other types of thermometers, such as ear or forehead thermometers.

However, axillary thermometers are not as accurate as other types of thermometers and may not be suitable for all situations. If you need a more accurate measurement of body temperature, you may want to consider using an ear or forehead thermometer instead.
