Oxygen saturation sensor for clamping attachment to a body part

A process for clamping attachment of an oxygen saturation sensor to a body part, the process comprising the steps of:

• providing the oxygen saturation sensor, wherein the oxygen saturation sensor comprises:
• a first clamping element configured to receive a light source or comprising the light source;
• and a second clamping element configured to receive a radiation detector or comprising the radiation detector, wherein the first clamping element comprises:
• a first deformable side wall;
• a second deformable side wall;
• and a first connecting element, which extends between the first side wall and the second side wall;
• configuring the oxygen saturation sensor to receive the body part between the first clamping element and the second clamping element;
• and
• configuring the first clamping element to be deformable such that the first clamping element bends towards the body part upon the first clamping element being applied to the body part;
• and
• applying the first clamping element to the body part with the first clamping element bending towards the body part with the first clamping element applied to the body part.

An oxygen saturation sensor comprising:

• a first clamping element comprising:
• a first deformable side wall;
• a second deformable side wall;
• and a connecting element, which extends between the first side wall and the second side wall, wherein the first clamping element is configured to be deformable to bend towards the body part upon the first clamping element being applied to the body part;
• a second clamping element, wherein the first clamping element and the second clamping element are together configured to receive the body part between the first clamping element and the second clamping element;
• a light source connected to one of the first clamping element and the second clamping element;
• and
• a radiation detector connected to another of the first clamping element and the second clamping element.
