Description
The Neo-Therm Skin Temperature Sensor monitors the skin temperature of neonates in the delivery room, nursery, and NICU, in a version made for GE Giraffe devices. Its thermistor sits embedded in soft foam that lies flat against the infant's skin for reliable contact.
- Made for GE Giraffe – This turquoise configuration is the Neo-Therm sensor for use with GE Giraffe warmers and incubators
- Flat Skin Contact – The thermistor is embedded into the foam so it lies flat against the neonate's skin
- Warmer-Proof Reading – A Mylar cover reflects heat generated by warmers and heat lamps away from the measurement
Neonatal Skin Temperature Sensor for Giraffe Warmers and Isolettes
Neonatal temperature monitoring lives or dies on contact quality, because the sensor must read the baby and not the warmer above the baby. The Neo-Therm design embeds its thermistor in soft flexible foam with hypoallergenic adhesive, so placement is gentle and removal is easy. A thin 36-gauge lead wire reduces environmental temperature influence on the reading. Color-coded connectors between the sensor, cable, and infant warmers, incubators, and isolettes reduce the risk of connecting to the wrong instrument channel. The Mylar cover reflects radiant heat that would otherwise bias the measurement. This configuration serves GE Giraffe devices and is supplied 20 per box.
Features and Benefits
Neonatal Design
- Embedded Thermistor – The thermistor lies flat against the skin inside the foam for better contact and more reliable monitoring
- Hypoallergenic Adhesive – Soft flexible foam allows easy placement and removal on neonatal skin
- Mylar Reflective Cover – Reflects heat from warmers and heat lamps that could bias the reading
Connection Safety
- Color-Coded Connectors – Color coding between sensor, cable, and device reduces wrong-channel connection risk
- Thin Lead Wire – The 36-gauge wire limits environmental influence on the measurement

Why NICU Teams Choose Neo-Therm Skin Sensors
A skin sensor that reads the warmer instead of the baby drives wrong servo decisions. Neo-Therm stacks flat contact, a reflective cover, and a thin lead wire against every known bias in neonatal skin monitoring. The Giraffe-matched color coding then keeps the connection right.
- Reads the Baby, Not the Lamp – Mylar reflection and an embedded flat thermistor target the real skin temperature
- Gentle on Neonatal Skin – Soft foam with hypoallergenic adhesive places and removes without drama
- Channel-Safe Connections – Color-coded connectors cut wrong-channel risk across warmers, incubators, and isolettes
Frequently Asked Questions
Which devices does this sensor fit?
This turquoise STS-209 configuration is the Neo-Therm skin temperature sensor for use with GE Giraffe devices. The turquoise color coding identifies the Giraffe channel at a glance.
Where is the sensor used?
It monitors the skin temperature of neonates in the delivery room, nursery, and NICU. Continuous skin readings guide warmer and incubator management.
How does it stay accurate under a warmer?
A Mylar cover reflects heat from warmers and heat lamps, and the thermistor is embedded flat against the skin in foam. The thin 36-gauge lead wire further reduces environmental influence on the reading.
Is the adhesive gentle?
Yes. The soft flexible foam uses hypoallergenic adhesive for easy placement and removal.
How is it packaged?
The sensors are supplied 20 per box and sold by the case. Case quantities suit NICU and nursery stocking pars.
