Abstract:
A disposable cuff liner for use with a blood pressure cuff and means for using thereof. In accordance with an embodiment, the cuff liner can be easily wrapped around a patient's limb, and generally approximates the width of a typical blood pressure cuff. The cuff liner can be shaped to better conform to the shape of the limb. An adhesive strip allows the cuff liner to be wrapped around the limb and then fixed into place. Sizing indicators can be marked on the cuff liner to allow for sizing and more accurate positioning of the two ends of the cuff liner. In accordance with an embodiment, the sizing indicators can be perforated, to allow the cuff liner to be easily customized for size. Once applied to the patient, the blood pressure cuff of a sphygmomanometer can be wrapped around the patient's limb and over the cuff liner, to measure the patient's blood pressure.
