Disposable Adhesive SpO₂ Probes (Single-Use Oxygen Saturation Sensors)
Disposable adhesive SpO₂ probes are single-patient-use sensors designed to provide accurate, continuous monitoring of blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂) and pulse rate. Commonly supplied by organizations such as Walters Medical and compatible with leading monitoring systems from Masimo, Medtronic (Nellcor), and GE HealthCare, these probes offer dependable performance across neonatal, paediatric, and adult patient populations.
The sensor features a soft, medical-grade adhesive backing that secures comfortably to the patient’s finger, toe, hand, or foot. Integrated light-emitting and detection elements enable precise pulse oximetry measurement, while the flexible cable ensures stable signal transmission to compatible bedside monitors or portable pulse oximeters. Designed for single use, disposable adhesive probes help reduce the risk of cross-contamination and eliminate the need for cleaning or sterilisation.
