Abstract
A patient monitoring sensor having a communication interface, through which the patient monitoring sensor can communicate with a monitor is provided. The patient monitoring sensor includes a light-emitting diode (LED) communicatively coupled to the communication interface and a detector, communicatively coupled to the communication interface, capable of detecting light. The patient monitoring sensor includes hydrophobic materials provided around the light-emitting diode and the detector, wherein the hydrophobic materials reduce water absorption and prevent bacterial growth within the sensor.
