Review on Effortlessly Measure Temperature with Apex Temp-Quik Forehead Strip Thermometer by Shannon Young

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mandatory for First Aid Kits in the Field

If you are making pickup kits and not just a first aid kit to keep on site then this is a great opportunity. Forehead thermometers are the lightest you can carry and are so thin that they don't take up much room in your kit. So I believe you have no excuse to go into the field without him. Temp Quik have been around for quite some time and they are a solid item. It can be difficult to read in direct sunlight, but you should try to get your patient out of direct sunlight if you think there's any reason to check their temperature at all (including hastily doing some chopsticks and sticks). your heat sheet if you don't have natural cover). I'm glad I was able to find them again as there are some other stamps that are much harder to read (smaller time band marks and less severe color changes). Don't expect a forehead thermometer to replace a rigid glass (mercury or alcohol) or digital (probe) thermometer. But again, this is a must have for a first aid kit. One note: As with ANY head thermometer, two people are required to use it because if you want to use it on yourself, by the time you take it off your own head and rotate it to read, you'll have a good reading lost this time. It's very delicate.
