Patent number: 9002425Abstract: An exemplary sensor includes a sensor pad defining a perimeter, a light source, a light detector, and an adhesive layer. The light source is configured to generate near-infrared light and transmit the near-infrared light through part of a patient's body. The light detector is configured to receive the near-infrared light generated by the light source after it has traveled through part of the patient's body. The light received by the light detector indicates an amount of oxygen in the part of the patient's body through which the near-infrared light traveled. The adhesive layer is offset relative to the sensor pad to, for example, allow a clinician to easily remove the sensor from the patient.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: April 7, 2015Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Oleg Gonopolskiy, Arik Anderson, Melissa Muto, Matthew Stimpson, Richard Morabito

Patent number: 8965475Abstract: An exemplary sensor includes an integrated sensor pad having a first portion and a second portion separated by a waist portion. The waist portion is narrower than the first portion and the second portion. A light source that is disposed on the first portion is configured to generate near-infrared light and transmit the near-infrared light into a patient's body. A light detector that is disposed on the second portion is configured to detect near-infrared light that has traveled through part of the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2014Date of Patent: February 24, 2015Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Oleg Gonopolskiy, Arik Anderson, Melissa Muto, Richard Morbito, Matthew Stimpson

Patent number: 8831699Abstract: An exemplary sensor includes a sensor pad defining a plurality of openings and a circuit board. The circuit board is at least partially disposed in the sensor pad and has a light source configured to generate near-infrared light and a light detector configured to receive near-infrared light. The light source and the light detector are each aligned with one of the openings of the sensor pad so that near-infrared light generated by the light source can travel through a part of a patient's body to the light detector and the near-infrared light received by the light detector indicates oxygen saturation of the part of the patient's body through which the light travelled. The circuit board further includes an integrally formed tail at least partially disposed in the sensor pad. Additionally, the sensor pad includes an overlay disposed on the tail.Type: GrantFiled: September 11, 2013Date of Patent: September 9, 2014Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Oleg Gonopolskiy, Melissa Muto, Matthew Stimpson, Richard Morabito
