Pulse photometry probe
First Claim
1. A pulse photometry probe, comprising:
- a tape-shaped compressive bandage section, having a first surface, a second surface opposing to the first surface, a first through hole and a second through hole each connecting the first surface and the second surface, the bandage section is adapted to be wound around a living tissue such that the first surface is brought into contact with the living tissue;
a light emitter, which emits light toward the living tissue, the light emitter detachably attached on a first position of the second surface such that the light passes through the first through hole; and
a light receiver, which receives the light which has been emitted from the light emitter and transmitted through the living tissue, the light receiver detachably attached on a second position of the second surface such that the light passes through the second through hole.

Abstract
A pulse photometry probe having the following structure is disclosed. A tape-shaped compressive bandage section has a first surface, a second surface opposing to the first surface, a first through hole and a second through hole each connecting the first surface and the second surface. The bandage section is adapted to be wound around a living tissue such that the first surface is brought into contact with the living tissue. A light emitter emits light toward a living tissue. The light emitter detachably attached on a first position of the second surface such that the light passes through the first through hole. A light receiver receives the light which has been emitted from the light emitter and transmitted through the living tissue. The light receiver detachably attached on a second position of the second surface such that the light passes through the second through hole.

16. A pulse photometry probe, comprising:
-
a tape-shaped compressive bandage section, having a first surface, a second surface opposing to the first surface, the bandage section is adapted to be wound around a living tissue such that the first surface is brought into contact with the living tissue;
a light emitter, which emits light toward the living tissue, the light emitter detachably attached on a first position of the second surface; and
a light receiver, which receives the light which has been emitted from the light emitter and transmitted through the living tissue, the light receiver detachably attached on a second position of the second surface, wherein a thickness of the bandage section at the first position and the second position is determined so as to allow the light to pass through. - View Dependent Claims (17)

18. A method of applying a pulse photometry probe to a living tissue, comprising the steps of:
-
attaching a light emitter and a light receiver onto a bandage section such that a first proximal end of a first lead wire connected to the light emitter and a second proximal end of a second lead wire connected to the light receiver are angled by a predetermined angle; and
wounding the bandage section around the living tissue such that an optical axis of the light emitter coincides with an optical axis of the light receiver. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
