The newborn and preterm infant population has varying degrees of fragile, underdeveloped skin that can be easily damaged by adhesives. Coupled with Casmed’s unique Cool-Light technology which eliminates heat at the site of the sensor, the Fore-Sight non-adhesive small sensors help to maintain skin integrity with the use of either a headband system or a hydrogel adhesive – the same gel adhesive used on Casmed’s premium Klear-Trace neonatal electrodes.
Andrew Kersey, president and CEO of CAS Medical Systems, said: “The new, non-adhesive option for our small sensors is ideal for the specialized needs of the most vulnerable neonatal patients. Casmed’s hydrogel adhesive products have long been a gold standard for preservation of delicate skin in this environment, and we are proud to continue that history with the new Fore-Sight non-adhesive small sensor.”
