Nellcor Neonate Wrap SpO2 Sensor Non Oximax is a neonatal pulse oximeter sensor specifically designed for newborn infants and premature babies. It measures blood oxygen saturation levels (SpO2) and pulse rate using advanced optical sensing technology.
The sensor wraps gently around the neonate’s foot or hand and connects directly to supported patient monitors using a 7-pin connector. The Non Oximax configuration ensures fit with older Nellcor-supported monitoring systems that do not support Oximax technology.
This neonatal wrap sensor is widely used in:
- Neonatal intensive care units (NICU)
- Pediatric departments
- Delivery rooms
- Emergency care units
- Infant recovery wards
- Home neonatal care
- Ambulance and transport monitoring
Its gentle wrap design helps reduce skin irritation while delivering stable oxygen saturation measurements for vulnerable neonatal patients.
Key Features of Nellcor Neonate Wrap SpO2 Sensor Non Oximax
Soft Neonatal Wrap Design
The sensor features a soft and flexible wrap construction specially developed for delicate neonatal skin. It minimises pressure points while maintaining accurate sensor positioning throughout monitoring sessions.
Non Oximax Fitment
This sensor is designed for Non Oximax Nellcor-supported systems, making it ideal for facilities still using traditional Nellcor pulse oximetry monitors.
Accurate SpO2 and Pulse Rate Monitoring
The neonatal pulse oximeter sensor provides dependable oxygen saturation and pulse measurements critical for neonatal patient monitoring.
3.2 ft Cable Length
The 3.2 ft cable offers flexibility during patient movement and reduces cable strain during monitoring.
7 Pins Connector
The integrated 7-pin connector ensures stable communication between the sensor and supported monitoring systems.
Neonatal Patient Focused
Specifically designed for newborns, premature babies, and low-weight infants, this sensor supports reliable monitoring in sensitive care environments.
Lightweight and Comfortable
The lightweight design improves comfort during long-term monitoring and reduces unnecessary stress on neonatal patients.
Benefits of Using Nellcor Neonate Wrap SpO2 Sensor Non Oximax
Enhanced Patient Comfort
Neonatal patients require gentle monitoring solutions. The wrap-style sensor provides secure placement without causing excessive pressure or irritation.
Stable Monitoring Performance
The sensor maintains consistent signal acquisition even during mild patient movement, helping clinicians obtain accurate readings.
Suitable for Continuous Monitoring
Designed for extended patient observation in NICU and critical care environments.
Easy to Apply
Healthcare professionals can quickly position and secure the wrap sensor, improving workflow efficiency in busy clinical settings.
Why Accurate Neonatal SpO2 Monitoring Matters
Oxygen saturation monitoring plays a critical role in neonatal healthcare. Newborn infants, especially premature babies, are highly vulnerable to oxygen imbalance and respiratory complications.
A reliable neonatal SpO2 sensor helps healthcare providers:
- Detect hypoxemia early
- Monitor respiratory conditions
- Assess oxygen therapy effectiveness
- Reduce complications related to low oxygen saturation
- Track pulse rate continuously
- Improve neonatal patient safety
The Nellcor Neonate Wrap SpO2 Sensor Non Oximax is designed to support these critical monitoring requirements with precision and comfort.

Designed for Sensitive Neonatal Skin
Premature and newborn infants have extremely delicate skin that requires careful handling. Traditional rigid sensors can create discomfort or pressure marks during extended use.
The soft wrap construction of the Nellcor Neonate Wrap SpO2 Sensor helps:
- Minimise skin irritation
- Improve patient comfort
- Reduce pressure-related marks
- Support long-term monitoring
- Maintain secure positioning
This makes it ideal for neonatal intensive care applications where patient comfort is a priority.
Advantages of Non Oximax Technology Fitment
Many hospitals and clinics continue to use legacy Non Oximax pulse oximetry systems because of their proven reliability and cost-effectiveness.
This sensor offers an ideal solution for facilities needing:
- Replacement neonatal SpO2 sensors
- Cost-effective fit
- Reliable Non Oximax performance
- Stable monitoring integration
- Easy installation
Instead of upgrading entire monitoring systems, healthcare facilities can maintain efficient monitoring using supported neonatal wrap sensors.
Importance of Proper Sensor Placement
Correct sensor placement is essential for obtaining accurate oxygen saturation readings in neonatal patients.
Healthcare professionals typically place the neonatal wrap sensor on:
- The foot
- The palm
- The hand
- The toe
Proper positioning helps:
- Improve signal quality
- Reduce false alarms
- Maintain stable readings
- Enhance patient comfort
The flexible wrap design simplifies correct placement and secure attachment.
Infection Control and Sensor Hygiene
Maintaining proper hygiene is critical in neonatal healthcare environments. Reusable neonatal SpO2 sensors should always be cleaned and handled according to institutional infection control protocols.
Recommended practices include:
- Regular visual inspection
- Proper disinfection procedures
- Careful cable handling
- Storage in clean environments
- Immediate replacement if damaged
Following proper care procedures can help extend sensor lifespan and maintain reliable performance.
How Pulse Oximetry Works
Pulse oximetry technology measures oxygen saturation by passing light through tissue and analysing blood oxygen levels.
The sensor uses:
- Red light
- Infrared light
- Optical detectors
The monitor processes this information to calculate:
- Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2)
- Pulse rate
This non-invasive monitoring method provides real-time patient assessment without causing discomfort.
