1. In a reusable pulse oximeter probe having a light-emitting diode and a photocell detector, the improvement comprising a pair of modular housings and wherein the light emitting diode and the photocell detector of said probe are mounted on, or incorporated into, one of said modular housings, respectively, each housing having means for matedly engaging at least one bandage receptacle, and being retained, at least in part, thereon or therein, by means of a locking tab or lever. 2. The pulse oximeter probe of claim 1 wherein at least one of said housings has mounted thereon, or incorporates therein, said locking tab or lever. 3. The pulse oximeter probe of claim 1 wherein at least one of said housings incorporates therein, a slot or indentation, said slot or indentation for the purpose of retaining therein said locking tab or lever, said locking lever being located on or in said bandage receptacle or receptacles. 4. A disposable bandage apparatus comprising at least one face, adhesive on at least a portion of said at least one face thereof, and at least two receptacles mounted on said disposable apparatus, each receptacle having means for matedly engaging at least one housing of a pulse oximeter probe, and a locking mechanism retaining at least a portion of said probe housing thereon or therein. 5. An adhesive bandage apparatus, said adhesive bandage apparatus comprising at least two receptacles mounted thereon, said at least two receptacles each having at least one aperture or radiation transparent window therein; at least a first of said receptacles being adapted to matedly engage, and lock into place, the housing of a pulse oximeter probe, said probe housing containing, or having mounted thereon, at least one light emitting diode; and a second of said receptacles being adapted to matedly engage, and lock into place, the housing of a pulse oximeter probe, said probe housing containing, or having mounted thereon, at least one photocell detector; wherein when so mated, said probe housings and bandage receptacles allow for the transmission and reception of light through the apertures or radiation transparent windows of said mated housings and receptacles, and through the appendage of a patient. 6. An oximeter probe attachment system comprising, a first adhesive bandage apparatus having at least one receptacle mounted thereon, said at least one receptacle having at least one radiation transparent window therein; said at least one receptacle being adapted to matedly engage, and lock into place, the housing of a pulse oximeter probe component, said housing containing, or having selectively mounted thereon, at least one light emitting diode, or having mounted thereon, at least one photocell detector; and at least one second adhesive bandage apparatus having at least one receptacle mounted thereon, said at least one bandage receptacle being adapted to matedly engage, and lock into place, the housing of a pulse oximeter probe component, said probe housing containing, or having mounted thereon, at least one light emitting diode, or said probe housing containing, or having mounted thereon, at least one photocell detector; wherein said at least two adhesive bandage apparati can be positioned upon a patient to allow for the transmission and reception of light through the radiation transparent windows of said mated housings and receptacles, and through the appendage of said patient. 7. A method for positioning a reusable sensor on a patient, comprising: providing a patient attachment device having adhesive on at least a portion thereof and having first and second probe couplers operably attached thereto and configured to be matingly engageable with probe housings of a reusable light emitting and detecting probe sensor assembly, wherein the first and second probe couplers comprise respective first and second locking features that engage and disengage probe housings of a reusable probe sensor assembly;positioning said patient attachment device on the patient; andengaging probe housings of a reusable probe sensor assembly with the first and second probe couplers. 8. The method of claim 7, further comprising sensing a light signal transmitted through the patient. 9. The method of claim 7, further comprising disengaging probe housings of the reusable probe sensor assembly from the first and second probe couplers. 10. The method of claim 7, further comprising disposing of the patient attachment device. 11. The method of claim 7, further comprising reusing the probe sensor assembly. 12. A bandage apparatus configured to receive a sensor for sensing a physiological parameter of a patient, the bandage apparatus having adhesive on at least a portion thereof and comprising first and second receptacles operably attached thereto and configured to matedly engage first and second housings of the sensor, and said receptacles being releasably securable to the housings by one or more engagement mechanisms. 13. The bandage apparatus of claim 12, wherein at least one of said first and second receptacles comprises at least one of the one or more engagement mechanisms comprising a locking element. 14. The device of claim 12, wherein at least one of said first and second receptacles comprises at least one component selected from the group consisting of a fastener, a hook-and-loop type material, a snap-on connector, a ring, a groove, a notch, a twistable connector, a contoured portion of a receptacle, a threaded connector, a flange, a tab, an indentation and a slot. 15. A device for use with a reusable probe sensor assembly in a system for sensing a physiological parameter of a patient, the device comprising a patient attachment having adhesive on at least a portion thereof and first and second probe couplers, the first and second probe couplers being operably attached to the patient attachment and configured to be matingly engageable with probe housings of a reusable probe sensor assembly, wherein the first and second probe couplers comprise respective first and second locking features that engage and disengage probe housings of a reusable probe sensor assembly. 16. A probe system for sensing a physiological parameter of a patient comprising a bandage apparatus having adhesive on at least a portion thereof and having first and second receptacles mounted thereon and being adapted to matedly engage, and lock into place, first and second housings of a probe component, the first housing comprising a light emitter and the second housing comprising a light detector, wherein said bandage apparatus can be positioned upon a patient to allow for the transmission and reception of a signal through an appendage of the patient. 17. The device of claim 16, wherein at least one of said first and second receptacles comprises at least one component selected from the group consisting of a fastener, a hook-and-loop type material, a snap-on connector, a ring, a groove, a notch, a twistable connector, a contoured portion of a receptacle, a threaded connector, a flange, a tab, an indentation and a slot. 18. A system for sensing a physiological parameter of a patient comprising: a probe assembly having a light emitter, a light detector, and first and second housings for the light emitter and light detector, respectively; anda bandage apparatus having adhesive on at least a portion thereof and having first and second receptacles operably attached thereto, and said receptacles having locking features to engage and disengage with said housings of said probe. 19. The device of claim 18, wherein at least one of said locking features comprises at least one component selected from the group consisting of a fastener, a hook-and-loop type material, a snap-on connector, a ring, a groove, a notch, a twistable connector, a contoured portion of a receptacle, a threaded connector, a flange, a tab, an indentation and a slot. 20. A method of providing a sensor capable of sensing a physiological parameter of a patient, the method comprising: providing a sensor having first and second housings comprising a light emitter and a light detector, respectively;providing a bandage having adhesive on at least a portion thereof and having first and second receptacles operably attached thereto and configured to matedly engage said first and second housings; andreleasably securing said first and second housings to said first and second receptacles by one or more engagement mechanisms. 21. The method of claim 20, wherein said providing the sensor comprises providing at least one of said first and second housings including a locking element. 22. The method of claim 20, wherein said providing the bandage comprises providing at least one of the first and second receptacles including a locking element.
