SoftCare™ Nonadhesive Sensors
Our new SoftCare Nonadhesive Sensors give clinicians a gentle alternative to adhesive sensors for patients with fragile skin. Designed for the OxiMax® Pulse Oximetry System, SoftCare sensors are ideal for monitoring neonates and preterm infants, geriatric and burn patients, or other patients with sensitive skin.
A Gentle Alternative for Sensitive Skin
For patients with sensitive skin, applying and removing adhesives can damage the delicate epidermal tissue and may disrupt the normal barrier function of the skin, leading to increased risk of infection.
The SoftCare solution
Nellcor is the only company to offer a nonadhesive pulse oximetry sensor with a "second-skin" fit.
· New SoftCare Nonadhesive Sensors fasten with Velcro® instead of adhesive tape.
- The sensor bandage is made of a soft, pliable, low-profile foam material that gives it "stiction" to help keep the sensor in place without adhesives.
- SoftCare sensors are designed for single-patient use and are packaged sterile to help alleviate infection-control concerns.
- New design eliminates the need to remove and apply adhesive when checking or changing sensor sites.
- Soft, foam sensor bandage is comfortable, yet stays in place.
- Improved optics maximize signal acquisition to overcome challenges of weak pulses and thick or darkly pigmented skin.
- SoftCare sensors coupled with OxiMax technology deliver exceptional monitoring performance, even for your most challenging patients.
