Remanufactured medical sensors and methods for remanufacturing used stacked adhesive medical sensors are provided. Such a remanufactured sensor may include certain components from a used stacked adhesive medical sensor and certain new components. For example, a remanufactured medical sensor may include an exterior foam layer, a mask layer, an emitter and a detector, a semi-rigid optical mount to hold the emitter and the detector in place, optical windows, and an interior foam layer. At least the emitter and the detector may derive from the used stacked adhesive medical sensor, while at least one of the exterior foam layer, the mask layer, the semi-rigid optical mount, the optical windows, or the interior foam layer may be new.
