Nellcor SpO2 Nonadhesive Sensor, Neonatal 1.5-5 kg - An Ideal Sensor for Patients with Sensitive Skin
A Gentle Alternative for Sensitive Skin
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 nonadhesive 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 nonadhesive sensors are ideal for patients with special skin needs. When patients have compromised skin integrity, clinicians can use the sensor with the soft touch.
The Accuracy of an Adhesive Sensor. Without The Adhesive.
Difficult monitoring requires accurate SpO2 sensors. The Nellcor non-adhesive sensors:
- Deliver reliable SpO2 and pulse rate readings in hospitals, hospital-type facilities, intra-hospital transport and home environments
- Feature high-efficiency LEDs that enhance the sensors ability to acquire a pulsatile signal, even when challenged with weak pulses
The sensors are made of a soft, pliable, low-profile foam material to help keep the sensors in place. They easily fasten with a small hook and loop fastener, giving it a customizable fit.
Our non-adhesive sensors work exclusively with Nellcor pulse oximeters and other manufacturers monitoring systems equipped with OxiMax technology. This unique platform enables us to create innovative sensor designs that help improve patient care.
Non-Adhesive Sensors Arent Just For People with Sensitive Skin
Nellcor non-adhesive sensors may be used with a variety of patients and skin types.
- They work even on high risk patients
- They are sensitive enough for use on burn victims, neonatal patients, and geriatric patients
- They are designed for single use, continuous monitoring
Versatile. Reliable. Gentle.
Nellcor non-adhesive sensors are:
- An option for continuous monitoring
- Engineered to be accurate and comparable to adhesive digit sensors
- Designed to work with OxiMax technology to ensure optimal monitoring performance
- Made with hook and loop fastener and soft foam material to gently keep sensor in place
- Shipped in sterile, single-patient-use packaging
Brighter Optics for Better Performance
You need reliable readings - even in the toughest situations. That is why Nellcor non-adhesive sensors are designed with high-efficiency LEDs that enhance the sensors ability to acquire a pulsatile signal.
Technology
Reduce adhesive-related skin trauma with the alternative to adhesive sensors
The concerns about using adhesives in NICU patients have been well documented in recent years. A research project conducted by the Association of Womens Health, Obstetric and Neonatal Nurses (AWHONN) and the National Association of Neonatal Nurses (NANN) found that adhesives were the primary cause of skin breakdown among NICU patients.1 Pulse oximetry sensors were cited as one of the therapeutic interventions that can potentially cause skin injury.
As a result of the research, a neonatal skin care clinical practice guideline developed by AWHONN/NANN advocates minimizing the use of adhesives as much as possible. To help with this goal, we developed the Nellcor SpO2 nonadhesive sensor for neonatal patients. The nonadhesive sensor gives clinicians a convenient alternative to adhesive sensors for patients with fragile skin.
Nonadhesive sensors are part of our Nellcor pulse oximetry system. These unique sensors work exclusively with Nellcor pulse oximeters and other manufacturers multiparameter monitoring systems equipped with Nellcor technology.
- Designed for long-term monitoring.
- Works with OxiMax technology to ensure optimal monitoring performance, even when challenged with patient motion and weak pulses.
