100 years of Braun – The world changes. Braun leads the way.

The success story of Braun can be summed up as: life changing innovation, durable German technology and pioneering design.  Braun is leading the way into the future –  “Designed to make a difference”.

Choosing the right thermometer for your family

When it comes to your family’s health, accuracy & reliability matters. We designed our digital, no-touch, forehead and ear thermometers to be accurate, reliable & easy to use. With innovative designs & easy to use controls, Braun thermometers are great for babies, kids and adults.

Braun’s product offering provides several options to suit a variety of needs providing professional accuracy for peace of mind & are supported by a two year defective manufacturing warranty from the date of purchase.

Types of Thermometers

Ear Thermometers

The ear is a good site for temperature measurement because it reflects the core temperature of the body.

Which one should I choose?

All Braun infrared ear thermometers feature ThermoScan® technology, which measure heat generated by the eardrum and surrounding tissue to give an accurate temperature on an easy-to-read digital display in seconds. (Braun IRT3030 ThermoScan 3, Braun IRT6525 ThermoScan 7+ with Age Precision®).

Non-Contact & Forehead Thermometers

Non-Contact thermometers are a quick and fuss-free way of measuring a child’s temperature. They measure the infrared heat waves emitted through the surface of the skin. With this type of measurement, it is important to read the instructions to understand the external factors that may influence measurement and operation of the thermometer, e.g. air temperature, sweating or other factors.

Why should I choose it?

The Braun No touch + forehead with clinically proven accuracy, touch and no touch, to provide complete flexibility when it comes to measuring temperature. With a proximity sensor, which indicates the correct distance, and a color-coded display, which conveys normal temperature, fever or a high fever, accurate readings can be achieved with ease. (Braun BNT400).

Forehead Thermometers

Similar to non-contact thermometers, a forehead thermometer is a quick and fuss-free way of measuring a child’s temperature that measures the infrared heat waves emitted through the surface of the skin. (Braun BNT400 with Age Precision®).

Why should I choose it?

The Braun forehead thermometer provides clinically proven accuracy with a simple touch of the forehead. The color-coded display helps convey normal temperature, fever or high fever providing reassurance as you interpret the temperature reading. Additional features include memory recall of the last reading. (Braun BNT400 or Braun BST 200 TempleSwipe™)

Digital Stick Thermometers

Digital stick thermometers offer flexibility when taking temperatures, as you can use them under the arm, orally, or rectally allowing you to pick the best method that suits both you and your little one offering with Age Precision® technology, colour coded fever guidance & fast readings. (Braun PRT2000).
