Abstract
Disclosed is finger cuff that is connectable to a patient's finger to be used in measuring the patient's blood pressure by a blood pressure measurement system. The finger cuff may comprise a fixed shell and a bladder. The fixed shell may have a finger cavity, in which the finger cavity of the fixed shell may be placed around a patient's finger to surround a large portion of the patient's finger including the middle knuckle to reduce finger movement, and in particular, to reduce relative movement between the middle phalanx and the proximal phalanx. Further, the fixed shell includes a support member that extends away from the finger cavity to abut against the underside of the patient's hand to reduce bending of the finger relative to the hand.
