ABSTRACT:
An adjustable and disposable blood pressure cuff comprises a bladder provided with adhesive layers on both sides thereof which are covered by peelable strips. According to the method of using the cuff, selected strips or portions thereof on one side of the cuff are peeled away and removed. The cuff is then folded and adhesively secured to itself at the optimum width for the circumference of the limb of the patient. Selected strips or portions thereof on the other side of the cuff are peeled away and removed so that the cuff may be adhesively secured about the limb of a patient. In a second embodiment, a hook-and-loop fastener piece replaces the adhesive layer on the other side of the cuff for securing the cuff about the limb of a patient.
