Abstract
A conical blood pressure cuff having an integrated inflatable bladder is provided. The cuff is formed of a flexible compliant laminate having at least first and second layers which are impermeable to air. The cuff is formed having first and second arcuate edges, the second edge having a smaller radius than the first edge. Radial edges extend between the first and second arcuate edges. An air-tight rectangular pocket forms the inflatable bladder between the first and second layers. A tube is provided communicating with the interior of the pocket formed between the laminated layers. Air may be pumped the through the tube to inflate the bladder. Similarly, the bladder may be deflated by removing air from the pocket through the tube.
