Abstract: A medical monitoring system, such as an oximetry system, applies an attachment for securing an optical probe to a measurement site. The attachment has an elongated support with a first end and a second end, and a dedicated area in proximity of the first end. The dedicated area receives an optical probe and includes a material that is transparent for light emitted and received by the optical probe. The dedicated area mountably receives the optical probe on the material so that in use, the material is positioned between the optical probe and a surface of a measurement site. The optical probe may be factory-mounted to the dedicated area of the attachment as a ready-to-use sensor. In the alternative, the attachment may be available as an individual component, or as a part of a kit including the attachment and the optical probe.
