A bow shaped pulse meter for new-born patients, comprising a control unit arranged in a central portion of the pulse meter, a first arm with an integrated first electrode and a second arm with an integrated second electrode extending respectively in a bow from opposite sides of the central portion, the integrated electrodes are configured to be in contact with a patient body (not shown) when in use, the electrodes being further electrically connected to the control unit. The pulse meter being distinctive in that the first and second arm and the control unit comprising an integral core element being made of a material having flexible properties to allow the respective arms to bend away from each other when the pulse meter is being arranged into an applying or removing position on the patient's body, the material having further spring back properties so that the arms naturally contract inwards such that the electrodes are maintained in contact with the patient's body when the pulse meter is in the applied position, the pulse meter further comprising a second layer overmolding at least a portion of each arm of the core element, the material of the second layer being electro conductive forming a connection between the electrodes and the control unit.
