A DEVICE FOR APPLICATION OF A SENSOR TO A MEASUREMENT SITE, A SENSOR HEAD, A KIT OF AN APPLICATION DEVICE AND SENSOR AND USE OF AN APPLICATION DEVICE FOR OPTICAL MEASUREMENTS OF PHYSIOLOGICAL PARAMETERS

摘要

A device (1) for application of a sensor to a measurement site, said device comprising at least one application area (2) enabling the application of the device to a patient's skin (3) is provided. The device comprises an interface (4) for connecting the device to a sensor head, wherein the device has at least a wall arrangement (5) defining an applicator volume above the patient's skin. The wall arrangement comprises a patient's side and a sensor side. At least one gas-permeable membrane (6) separates the applicator volume into a first volume (7) being directed to the measuring site at the patient's side of the wall arrangement (5) and a second volume (8) being separated from the patient's skin and directed to the sensor side of the wall arrangement (5).
