When patients with fragile skin require pulse oximetry monitoring, choosing an appropriate sensor can be a challenge. Adhesive sensors can cause skin trauma and reusable sensors have drawbacks for long-term monitoring. We offer a convenient solution. The Nellcor non-adhesive sensors are made of a soft, pliable, low-profile foam material that gives it "stiction" to help keep the sensor in place without adhesives. The sensors fasten easily with a small hook and loop strap. Nellcor non-adhesive sensors are ideal for patients with special skin needs. When patients have compromised skin integrity, clinicians can use the sensor with the soft touch.
