The Equate Temple Touch is a non-contact temple thermometer that reads body temperature in about 6 seconds by sampling heat from blood vessels near the skin. It runs on a single CR2032 coin battery and shows results on a digital display. It suits parents checking sleeping infants and anyone who wants a quick, fuss-free reading without holding a probe in place. Against ear and forehead thermometers it is simple and gentle, but temple readings are more sensitive to placement and room temperature, which is the main complaint in its reviews.
