<p>The invention is a reusable, clip-type oximetry sensors that comprise opposing top and bottom members (10,30).The sensor includes a resilient spring member (80) interposed between the top and bottom members (10,30) to provide a closing force. Different portions of the resilient spring member are in tension and in compression so as to combinatively provide an enhanced closing force utilized to secure a patient appendage between the top and bottom members (10,30). The resilient spring member (80) may be of a molded, monolithic construction, comprising an elastomeric material. In one aspect, the invention sensor includes cushions (50) interconnected to the top and bottom members (10,30) via snap-fit engagement. The snap-fit engagement may be provided by a plurality of interconnecting member pairs (e.g., projections and mating recesses), wherein the connection axes of the members comprising each pair are transversely disposed.</p> |
