Beurer FT85 Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer
As standard thermometers typically need to be put under the tongue or armpit to take accurate measurements, they need to be thoroughly washed between uses, especially if they're shared between multiple family members. In comparison, the Beurer FT85 Infrared Non-Contact Thermometer doesn't require any bodily contact, so doesn't need to be cleaned as carefully, and is far less likely to spread germs. This makes it ideal for looking after your family's health, especially if you've got more than one child to look after!
