Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000 Ear Thermometer

The ear thermometer used in hospitals and GP clinics. Use with PRO 6000 probe covers.

Ear (tympanic) thermometers

Ear thermometers read the temperature of the eardrum in about a second, which makes them the usual choice in clinics and wards. We carry the Braun ThermoScan PRO 6000, the Welcare Ear Thermometer and the VeraTemp AuraScan, which reads from the ear or the forehead. Each one needs a fresh probe cover for every patient.

Forehead and non-contact thermometers

Non-contact infrared thermometers take a reading without touching the patient, which helps with infection control and with sleeping or unsettled patients. Choose from the Omron Forehead Thermometer, Yuwell Infrared, Welcare Forehead, VeraTemp PROSCAN and VeraTemp InfraScan.

Digital stick thermometers

Low-cost digital thermometers for oral, underarm or rectal use, ideal for first aid kits, schools and home care. See the FastAid Digital Thermometer and Welcare Digital Thermometer Ultimate.

Probe covers

Stock up on Braun / Welch Allyn PRO 6000 covers, Welcare ear covers and universal ear probe covers (box of 800).

Thermometer FAQs

Is an ear or forehead thermometer more accurate in a clinic?

Both are accurate when used as the instructions describe. Ear thermometers are the usual clinical choice because the reading is quick and consistent. Forehead thermometers are better when you need no contact, such as screening or checking a sleeping patient.
