Abstract
A sphygmomanometer cuff adapted to be easily applicable to any limb of a patient by himself. The cuff comprises an elongated flexible double layered fabric strap holding an inflatable pouch with tubes to be connected at the outside of the strap to a sphygmomanometer and to an air pump, and having a length sufficient to wrap by about one and a half to two turns round the patient's limb. A loop shaped rigid member is fitted at one longitudinal end of the strap, and received in the other longitudinal end thereof is a resiliently compressible rod like member. The rod like member can be forced through the loop shaped rigid member and prevents the strap from withdrawing from the loop shaped rigid member. A pair of female and male adhesive tapes are provided on the strap and are spaced apart by a distance permitting superimposing for fastening when the strap is wrapped round a patient's limb so as to stop the flow of blood through the arteries.
