A wearable gear for holding a physiological sensor for monitoring a subject, such as a pulse oximeter. Said wearable gear being configured to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part of the subject. The wearable gear comprises a tensioning element having a maximal length, a holding unit for holding the physiological sensor, the wearable gear further comprises a tension mechanism for tensioning the tensioning element to a predefined tension when at least partially around a body part of the subject, wherein the tension mechanism comprises i) a first part comprising a resilient material, and ii) a second part comprising a non-resilient material, and wherein the first part and the second part mechanically cooperate with each other to automatically adjust the maximal length such that the predefined tension is obtained regardless of the size of the body part.

Gear for holding a physiological sensor

The present invention relates to a device for measuring a physiological parameter of a human limb such as peripheral capillary oxygen saturation. The device comprises a body comprising a first body part and a second body part, which are movable relative to each other to define an opening with an adjustable size for receiving the limb therein, and a physiological sensor for interacting with the limb received in the opening, the sensor being attached to the body, wherein the first and second body parts are slidable or twistable relative to each other while at least partially engaging or intersecting each other, or wherein the first and second body parts are configured to form a clip having an L-shaped end section for at least partially enclosing the limb received in the opening, in order to adjust the size of the opening.
