ABSTRACT:
A temperature sensing probe is provided including a probe shaft rigidly mounted on a handle and having a temperature sensing tip at the distal end of the shaft. A disposable cover is provided in the form of a unitary elongated tube constructed of heat conductive material and having an open proximal end arranged to slide over the probe shaft and a closed distal end arranged to tightly engage the temperature sensing tip of the shaft in order to retain the cover on the shaft and provide a positive conduction of heat to the temperature sensing tip. For the purpose of selectively ejecting the cover after temperature measurement, the probe handle includes a movable ejection button for manually driving the cover forwardly with sufficient force to disengage the cover from the tight engagement with the temperature sensing tip.
