ABSTRACT:
A device for detecting phlebitis comprises a housing and a plurality of temperature sensors mounted to the housing in spaced relation to one another so that the sensors are disposable in juxtaposition with a skin surface. A comparator mounted to the housing is operatively connected to the sensors for comparing temperatures simultaneously detected by the sensors upon juxtaposition thereof with the skin surface. The comparator includes a circuit or other component for generating a signal upon the detecting by the comparator of a temperature difference greater than a predetermined threshold. An indicator is mounted to the housing and operatively connected to the comparator for providing a sensible indication to an operator in response to the signal.
