Adhesive tape strip

Abstract

An adjustable sensor retainer and method for adjustably securing and retaining a sensor (e.g. a piezoelectric pulse sensor) against a skin region of a person includes the use of a primary retainer tape and an adjustable secondary retainer tape. The primary retainer tape is an adhesive tape to which the sensor can be attached. The adhesive primary retainer tape has strips of protective film with blind pull tabs attached thereto. This allows simplified one-handed application of the primary retainer tape while initially positioning and holding the sensor in place with the other hand. The secondary retainer tape is a tape strip removably attached to the top of the primary retainer tape and disposed over the sensor. After the initial positioning of the sensor with the primary retainer tape, the sensor can be finally positioned and the secondary retainer tape re-attached to the top of the primary retainer tape, thereby securing the sensor in the final desired location. Further, the secondary retainer tape can easily be detached and re-attached to slightly reposition the sensor, as desired.
