This invention is new in the medical field. Patient care people use a hand-held device with a plastic finger clip which comes in contact with the patient's finger to obtain an oxygen concentration and pulse rate during breathing treatments or for patients on oxygen for evaluation. It is not possible to sufficiently clean the finger clip between patients. I have never seen anything resembling this Pulse Oximetry Finger Sleeve anywhere even on patients who are in isolation for specific purposes of preventing spread of infection. The Pulse Oximeter Finger Sleeve is of soft plastic and shaped like one finger of a glove and would be placed on the patient's finger before placing the pulse oximeter finger clip, which is not disposable, on the patient's finger in order to prevent the spread of infection from patient to patient.
