Abstract
A cuff for a blood pressure monitor includes a cuff main unit wound around a measurement site of a living body, and a handle provided on the outer peripheral surface of the cuff main unit and gripped with a hand for fitting the cuff. The cuff main unit includes a cover member in which an air bag for pressing the living body and a curled elastic member wound annularly on the outside of the air bag and radially changeable in size are contained, and a diameter increasing/decreasing mechanism for increasing/decreasing a diameter of the curled elastic member. The handle has a push-button for increasing/decreasing the diameter of the curled elastic member by switching an operation of the diameter increasing/decreasing mechanism. This can provide a cuff for a blood pressure monitor permitting easy mounting/dismounting with respect to the measurement site of the living body.
