Abstract:
The present invention provides an oximeter sensor holder that includes first and second lateral members for receiving the sensor, a living hinge connecting proximal ends of the first and second lateral members, and first and second press tabs for moving the first and second lateral members about the living hinge. The first lateral member and the first press tab are in an opposed and spaced-apart relationship to the second lateral member and second press tab, respectively. To open and close the lateral members, at least one of the press tabs pivots about the living hinge away from and toward the other press tab. The holder can include one or more retaining walls to inhibit lateral movement of the sensor when positioned between the first and second lateral members.
