The present invention relates to a medical sensor (1) for measuring pulse,
blood, tissue and/or skin parameters using electromagnetic waves in the
transmission method, comprising a carrier part (2) for pushing onto a
patient's finger or toe. A first carrier leg (12) carries a transmitter
unit (5) and a second carrier leg (13) carries a receiver unit (6). A
carrier base (14) connects the two carrier legs (12, 13) to one another
in the region of a tip of the finger or toe. A spring part (3) is
arranged on the outside of the carrier part (2) such that a first spring
leg (15) bears against the first carrier leg (12) and a second spring leg
(16bear against the second carrier leg (13). The carrier part (2) is made
of a more flexible material than the spring part (3), in which the spring
legs (15, 16) prestress the carrier legs (12, 13) toward one another.
