Abstract
A physiologic condition sensor comprises a sensor body including an optical assembly housed in a sensor housing. The optical assembly is configured to include a head portion, a tail portion, and an intermediate portion connecting the head portion and tail portion. The head and tail portions are wider than the intermediate portion to prevent longitudinal deformation of the sensor housing around the optical assembly.
