ABSTRACT:
An easy adaptable sphygmomanometer having display means for indication of the user's blood pressure is disclosed herein. The sphygmomanometer comprises a main body having thereon the display means, an arm engageable resilient retainer connected to the underside of the main body for retaining such main body in positive arm engaging disposition on a single arm of the user, and a wrap-around cuff carried by the retainer and provided with an inflatable bag which extends along the interior circumference of the retainer. The arm engaging resilient retainer is curved to be arcuate in cross section so as to insure a friction fit engagement with the arm, whereby the main body can be retained in place until the final or complete fitting of the cuff around the arm of the user. Accordingly, the display means on the main body will not require any further adjustment of its position and can be kept at a prominent position to be easily observed by the user oneself, rendering the instrument ready for measuring the user's own blood pressure.
