A sphygmomanometer according to the present disclosure includes a main body that is mounted with a pump and is to be disposed on a dorsal surface of a wrist and a cuff that is to be attached around the wrist. The cuff extends along a circumferential direction of the wrist from an ulnar side end portion of the main body to a palmar surface and is set to a length covering an ulnar artery or a length covering a radial artery beyond the ulnar artery of a wrist having a preset maximum wrist circumference. A fluid is supplied from the pump to the cuff to press the wrist. A blood pressure is calculated based on a pressure of the fluid contained in the cuff.

Sphygmomanometer, blood pressure measurement method, and device

A sphygmomanometer includes: a bag-shaped sensing cuff to be worn to wrap a measurement site; a back plate disposed on the sensing cuff along a surface opposite to the measurement site; a pressing member for pressing the back plate toward the measurement site; and a blood-pressure calculating part calculating a blood pressure based on a pressure of a fluid stored in the sensing cuff. Regarding a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the measurement site to be wrapped by the sensing cuff, a surface facing the measurement site in edge potions on both sides in a width direction along the longitudinal direction of the back plate is curved in a direction away from the measurement site toward tips.

Sphygmomanometer, and method and device for measuring blood pressure

A sphygmomanometer of the present invention includes a bag-shaped sensing cuff to be worn to wrap a measurement site, a back plate disposed on the sensing cuff along a surface opposite to the measurement site, a pressing member for pressing the back plate toward the measurement site, and a blood-pressure calculating part calculating a blood pressure based on a pressure of a fluid stored in the sensing cuff. Regarding a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the measurement site to be wrapped by the sensing cuff, a dimension of the back plate in a width direction along the longitudinal direction is larger than a dimension of the sensing cuff in the width direction.

A sphygmomanometer includes: a sensing cuff that includes a second sheet disposed to face the pressing member's inner circumferential surface and a first sheet facing the second sheet; a fluid storage control part providing a control of supplying and storing the pressure-transmitting fluid into sensing cuff in a worn state wherein the pressing member and sensing cuff are worn on the wrist; and a blood-pressure calculating part calculating a blood pressure based on a pressure of the pressure-transmitting fluid stored in the sensing cuff. The fluid storage control part supplies fluid in the worn state such that the first and second sheets are in contact with each other in a region corresponding to an ulna, a region corresponding to a radius, and a region corresponding to a tendon while first and second sheets are separated from each other in regions corresponding to two arteries that are radial and ulnar arteries.
