APPARATUS FOR MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE WITH CORRESPONDING CUFF SECTIONS AND INDICATION RANGES

摘要

Apparatus for measuring blood pressure, with automatic compensation for variation in limb diameter, includes a bandage and a measuring apparatus indicating unit connected thereto. The bandage is subdivided along its length into a plurality of sections, each of which is associated with its own indicating zone in the measuring apparatus. The subdivisions can be visual. Alternatively, they can be by means of electrical contacts or a resistor extending longitudinally of the bandage; in which case the use of the apparatus can be simplified by the incorporation of rotating sealers or pointers actuated by circuitry responsive to the effective length of bandage in use.
