DISPOSABLE PROTECTIVE OVERLAY COVERING FOR BIOMEDICAL SENSORS
First Claim
1. A biomedical sensor overlay covering, comprising:
- a framework of flexible component layers;
a plurality of adhesive substrate components supported by the flexible component layers and forming a flexible protective contoured covering, enveloping, mechanically stabilizing, and securing the sensor to the skin, wherein each of the substrate components is at least one of;
electrically shielding, insulating, cushioning, and electrically conductive and wherein electrically shielding and electrically conductive substrate components cooperate with a cushioning substrate to shield the sensor from external electrical fields, dissipate accumulation of electrostatic charge, and suppress movement artifact.

Abstract
A disposable, low profile sensor overlay covering for use with biomedical sensors and which includes a framework of flexible component layers supporting an arrangement of electrostatic shielding, insulating, cushioning, and electrically conductive adhesive substrate components configured to form a protective covering encasing the sensor. The combination of component layers provides a means to stabilize the relative position of the sensor with respect to the skin and reduce the potential for sensor dislodgment. The mechanical and electrical configurations act in synergy to shield the sensor from external electrical fields and suppress movement artifact.
