A temperature-sensing device comprising generally an elongated temperature-sensing probe having a thermistor on one end, means on the opposite end of the probe for connecting it with the temperature metering device, an impervious disposable sheath comprising a low thermal-conducting, elongated sleeve having a high thermal-conducting metal tip sealing one end thereof adapted to intimately receive the thermistor-containing probe, and means for removably holding said sheath on said probe. When the device is to be used, the sheath is placed over the probe and held thereon, the thermistor-containing end of said probe being urged into intimate contact with the metal tip, allowing rapid thermal transfer between the temperature source and the thermistor so that temperature may be read in degrees on the metering device. The disposable sheath prevents cross-contamination among patients in clinical use.
