<p>A medical thermometer for measuring the temperature of a patient comprises a metal tip (2) with an outer contact surface (3) for contacting the tissue of a patient. A temperature sensor (4) mounted within the metal tip (2) is used to produce a signal which represents the temperature of the metal tip (2). The temperature is displayed on a display (5). The metal tip surrounds a substantially hollow cavity (8) and is of a length (L) which is at least three times, preferably five times larger than the diameter of the metal tip (2). The metal tip (2) is free from additional heating means.</p> |
