DISPOSABLE PULSE OXIMETER ASSEMBLY AND PROTECTIVE COVER THEREFOR

摘要

This invention is a protective covering (10) to protect off-the-shelf disposable pulse oximeter sensors (20) from bodily or surgical fluids. The protective covering will envelop and encase the inserted pulse oximeter sensor up to a point on the connection cable (24) extending from the pulse oximeter sensor. The protective covering is a polypropylene, rubber, or similar material, which preferably is tapered from the large width at the entrance to the narrower width at the blind end. The protective covering is bilaminar in nature to contain a substantially rectangular pulse oximeter.
