A thermometer jar gives each ward or bedside a fixed, upright place to keep thermometers between readings, so they are not laid on trays or bedside tables where they can roll off and break. The jar is a basic item of medical equipment, and its size, around 120mm tall overall, was chosen as the one most commonly used, which suits standard thermometers.
Its description sets a clear rule: the jar is a clean container for clean thermometers only. Used thermometers should be cleaned before they go back in, and the jar itself should be cleaned, disinfected and sterilised in a steam steriliser as often as necessary. Many wards keep two jars, one in use and one being reprocessed, so there is never a gap.
This thermometer jar is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana. Hospitals, clinics, nursing schools, dealers and importers can order it with other ward utensils and thermometers on a single enquiry. For company information, see the ScienceLab profile.
