Abstract
A patient monitoring sensor having a communication interface, through which the patient monitoring sensor can communicate with a monitor is provided. The patient monitoring sensor includes a light-emitting diode (LED) communicatively coupled to the communication interface and a detector, communicatively coupled to the communication interface, capable of detecting light. The patient monitoring sensor includes a bandage that is constructed as a single piece such that plural layers of the bandage are configured together to allow for a leaflet opening of the bandage, for example using at least one removable liner or tab, to insert a pulse oximetry circuit therein.
