Pulse oximetry sensors

Nellcor™ flexible reusable SpO₂ sensor

<p>The Nellcor™ flexible reusable SpO₂ sensor is a versatile sensor for short-term, continuous monitoring in a broad range of patient sizes.</p>

Features

The Nellcor™ flexible SpO2 sensor is compatible with resistor callibration (RCAL) and Oximax™ technology, so you can easily use it with your existing Nellcor™-compatible monitors:

  • Two sizes: large and small1
  • A weight range of >20 kg (44 lbs)1
  • Two versions: home care and hospital/EMS1

OxiMax™ technology

Patients have a wide range of conditions that may impact respiration. 

And because every patient is different, there are many different types of Nellcor™ pulse oximetry sensors with OxiMax™ technology available to help you choose the right sensor for the right patient.
