Abstract
Disclosed is finger cuff that is connectable to a patient's finger to aid in measuring the patient's blood pressure. The finger cuff may comprise: a shell, a bladder, and a clamping mechanism. The shell may have a finger cavity. The finger cavity of the shell may be placed under a patient's finger to receive the patient's finger. Further, the finger cavity may include a light emitting diode (LED)—photodiode (PD) pair. The bladder may include a pair of openings and the bladder may be mountable within the finger cavity such that the pair of openings surround the LED-PD pair, respectively. The clamping mechanism may be used to suitably clamp the patient's finger received in the finger cavity of the shell against the bladder mounted within the finger cavity of the shell.
