<p>The invention relates to an oximeter probe which can be placed more freely and at more locations on the body than normal oximeter probes, because its ability to measure is retained at measurement distances which are longer than the conventional ones, irrespective of the skin pigment. The invention is characterised in that the probe comprises a transmitter section (2) which emits light in the wavelength range of 710 nm to 770 nm and of over 805 nm, a receiver (3), and a probe part (1) which is made of a flexible material fitting closely to its positioning place, for example silicone. Furthermore, in the probe according to the invention it is possible to place an auxiliary transmitter (9) immediately adjacent to the receiver (3) as a light source for a wavelength range below 600 nm, with which transmitter the plethysmographic pulse curve is measured. The invention relates further to a fastening mechanism for the probe where the cables (4) together with the probe part (1) and the securing component (6) form the fastening mechanism.</p> |
