Mercury-free medical thermometer of the IGAR brand in a case with a cap and a shaking handle
The modern mercury-free medical thermometer of the IGAR brand in a case with a cap and a shaking handle is practically no different in appearance and principle of use from the usual glass mercury thermometer, which makes it simple and convenient in daily use.
The main difference from mercury is that this thermometer contains a liquid alloy of metals – gallium, indium and tin, instead of mercury. This alloy is non-toxic and environmentally friendly (safe for humans).
After the implementation of the Minamata Convention on Mercury, which was signed by more than 100 countries around the world, a course was taken to protect human health and the environment from the harmful effects of mercury and its compounds. Starting in 2020, the convention prohibits the production, export and import of various types of mercury-containing products.
In this regard, the world is gradually abandoning the use of mercury as a toxic substance of the first hazard class. Mercury thermometers have been replaced by modern solutions – electronic, non-contact and mercury-free thermometers.
The IGAR brand mercury-free medical thermometer in a case with a cap and a shaking handle is a reliable and safe alternative to a mercury thermometer.
A convenient plastic case with a cap and a shaking handle facilitates the process of shaking the thermometric liquid before measurement, and also provides protection for the product during storage and transportation.
The thermometer is designed for multiple use at home and in medical institutions and meets current safety and quality requirements.
