Abstract: A Doppler sensor for non-invasive continuous Doppler monitoring for arterial blood flow to a distal body part of a patient that employs a Doppler transducer holder for placement at the distal body part of the patient. The holder is adapted to allow the sensor to be inserted and removed, enabling a sterile sensor for each new use. The holder may be disposable after each use, may be provided with a cover for disposal of the cover after each use and re-use of the holder, and the sensor may be provided with a cover for sterile placement against the patient's body.

Abstract: A Doppler sensor for non-invasive continuous Doppler monitoring for arterial blood flow to a distal body part of a patient that employs a Doppler transducer for placement at the distal body part of the patient and an adhesive conductive gel for placement between the Doppler transducer and the distal body part of the patient. The adhesive conductive gel holds the Doppler transducer in position at the distal body part of the patient during medical procures so that continuous monitoring of arterial blood flow is provided via a Doppler monitor.
