A bow shaped pulse meter for new-born patients, comprising - a control unit (21) arranged in a central portion (3) of the pulse meter (1), a first arm (2) with an integrated first electrode and a second arm (2) with an integrated second electrode extending respectively in a bow from opposite sides of said central portion (3), - said integrated electrodes are configured to be in contact with a patient body (not shown) when in use, said electrodes being further electrically connected to said control unit (21). The pulse meter being distinctive in that - said first and second arm (2) and the control unit (21) comprising an integral core element(1a)being made of a material having flexible properties to allow the respective arms (2) to bend away from each other when the pulse meter (1) is being arranged into an applying or removing position on the patient`s body, said material having further spring back properties so that the arms (2) naturally contract inwards such that said electrodes are maintained in contact with the patient`s body when the pulse meter (1) is in the applied position, said pulse meter (1) further comprising a second layer (15) overmolding at least a portion of each arm of core element (1a), said material of the said second layer (15) being electro conductive forming the electrical connection between the electrodes and the control unit (21).
