Skin temperature monitoring is the workhorse temperature channel at the bedside — a small disc sensor on the skin, trending continuously through theatre, ICU and recovery — and it is the easiest channel to get wrong at reorder: two probes can share a connector and still read degrees apart because their thermistor series differ. This page leads with skin probes. The full range behind them runs to 57 products — reusable skin probes, general-purpose probes, disposable probes for incubators and warmers, probe covers and adapter cables — every one specified by series first (YSI 400-compatible is the most common convention) and by connector second.
This is also a regulatory strength of the house: temperature probes are an FDA-cleared family for the house — K182667 covers temperature probes and K193338 covers reusable and disposable temperature probes — so US-market buyers can qualify the line against named clearances rather than generic assurances.
Skin probes first: placement decides the reading
A skin probe reads the site it touches: axilla (with the arm adducted) for a core-adjacent trend, abdomen or foot in neonatal and perfusion contexts. Air gaps and ambient exposure are the classic errors — the disc must sit flat, covered or strapped as protocol requires, with the cable strain-relieved so movement does not lift an edge. Reusable skin probes serve continuous monitoring in theatre, ICU and recovery, and are stocked for the mainstream monitor platforms with native connectors (YSI 400-convention references such as 409B among them), plus adapter cables for mixed fleets. Probe condition matters: a reusable probe with a cracked housing or a fatigued cable reads plausibly and wrongly, so inspection belongs in the replacement cycle.
General-purpose probes
General-purpose probes serve spot and continuous measurement where a skin sensor is not appropriate — the second format family in the range, stocked on the same series-first discipline: state the measurement site and the monitor channel, and the probe is matched by curve and connector together.
Disposable probes and covers
In incubators and radiant warmers, disposable probes (cross-referenced in the catalogue to Dräger and ATOM warmer references, among others) remove reprocessing from a fragile-patient workflow. Where reusable probes are used with single-patient covers, covers are stocked alongside. The disposable family page details the warmer and incubator range.

Questions & answers
Why does the thermistor series matter?
The monitor computes temperature from the probe's resistance curve. A probe from a different series than the channel expects will read incorrectly even though it plugs in. State your monitor model and we match the series.
Are temperature probes FDA-cleared?
Yes — temperature probes under 510(k) K182667, and reusable and disposable temperature probes under K193338.
Do you stock probes for incubators and warmers?
Yes — disposable probes cross-referenced to the major warmer/incubator references are in the catalogue; see the disposable family page.
