A sensor assembly is provided that includes a frame upon which electrical and optical components may be disposed and a covering, such as an overmold coating, provided about the frame. The frame may be moved between an open and a closed configuration, such as during the manufacture of the sensor assembly. The sensor assembly includes a retaining component configured to hold the sensor in the closed configuration when engaged. In one embodiment, the sensor may be placed on a patient's finger, toe, ear, and so forth to obtain pulse oximetry or other physiological measurements.
What is claimed is: 1. A sensor assembly, comprising: a frame configured to move between an open and a closed configuration; a covering provided over at least part of the frame, wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic elastomer; at least one optical component disposed on the frame; and a ret
What is claimed is: 1. A sensor assembly, comprising: a frame configured to move between an open and a closed configuration; a covering provided over at least part of the frame, wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic elastomer; at least one optical component disposed on the frame; and a retaining component configured to hold the frame in the closed configuration when the retaining component is engaged. 2. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the covering comprises a sheet, a sleeve or a film material. 3. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the covering is bonded to the frame. 4. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the covering is mechanically fastened to the frame. 5. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer comprises at least one of a thermoplastic polyolefin, a thermoplastic vulcanizate alloy, thermoplastic polyurethane, silicone, or a combination thereof. 6. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the thermoplastic elastomer comprises an extruded or laminated film. 7. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the retaining component is integral with the sensor assembly. 8. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the retaining component is separable from the sensor assembly. 9. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the retaining component comprises a mechanical fastener, a band, a snap fit, an interference fit, a portion of the frame, a portion of the covering, or a combination thereof. 10. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the open configuration comprises an included angle in the range of about 120 to about 280 degrees. 11. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the open configuration comprises an included angle of approximately 180 degrees. 12. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the sensor assembly comprises at least one of a pulse oximetry sensor, a sensor for measuring a water fraction, or a combination thereof. 13. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the sensor assembly is fluid tight. 14. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the frame comprises a single molded part. 15. The sensor assembly of claim 1, wherein the frame comprises two or more parts joined to form the frame. 16. A sensor assembly, comprising: a sensor body configured to move between an open and a closed position; a covering provided over at least part of the sensor body, wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic elastomer; an emitter disposed on the sensor body; a detector disposed on the sensor body; and a retaining component configured to hold the sensor body in the closed configuration when the retaining component is engaged. 17. A sensor body, comprising: a frame configured to move between an open and a closed configuration; a covering provided over at least part of the frame, wherein the covering comprises a thermoplastic elastomer; and a retaining component configured to hold the frame in the closed configuration when the retaining component is engaged. 18. A sensor, comprising: a skeletal frame having a thermoplastic elastomer overmolding, wherein the skeletal frame is configured to move between an open and a closed configuration; and a retaining component configured to hold the skeletal frame in the closed configuration when the retaining component is engaged. 19. A method for manufacturing a frame of a sensor, comprising: forming a frame configured to move between an open and a closed configuration, wherein the frame comprises a retaining component configured to hold the frame in the closed configuration when the retaining component is engaged; and overmolding at least part of the frame with a thermoplastic elastomer. 20. The method of claim 19, wherein forming the frame comprises performing at least one of a molding operation, a diecasting operation, a sintering operation, a casting operation, or a stamping operation.
