A blood pressure cuff (), for determining the blood pressure in newborns, includes a chamber section () with an air chamber () and a handling section () for placing and fastening the chamber section () around an arm () of a newborn. The air chamber () has a chamber wall (), which has, along a circumferential direction (U) of the air chamber (), a longitudinal sealing seam (). Two longitudinal edges () of the chamber wall () are connected to one another overlappingly opposite each other in an airtight manner by the longitudinal sealing seam ().

Blood pressure cuff

A second part extending around a first part in a plugged-together state. The second part has snap-in element with an inwardly protruding projection for meshing with a complementary recess on an outer surface of the first part to hold the second part fixed in the axial direction on the first part. Both parts have a central passage opening. One part has an end area expanding towards the outlet opening in a connection area, and the other part is connected to an elastic section, arranged in its interior. The front end of the elastic section is pressed into contact with the expanded end area of the opposite part. The projection of the snap-in element maintains the first and second parts meshed together, so that the elastic section exerts a sealing function due to the pressure on the expanding end area.
