ABSTRACT:
A blood pressure cuff particularly for use with ambulatory blood pressure products and suitable for use in either the left or right limbs of the patient is disclosed. The cuff includes an elongated, flexible band having a body side face and an outward face and a compartment. It further includes an inflatable bladder having a centerline and adapted for placement within the compartment in either a first position or a second position rotated 180.degree. from the first position. The bladder includes a portion coupled on one side of the centerline and adapted to protrude through an opening in the band when the bladder is in either the first or second position. The opening comprises two separate openings on either side of the centerline. First and second indicia placed adjacent the openings on the outward face of the band identify the position of the protruding portion for use on either the left or right side limb. The two separate openings may be formed by closing over the center portion of a single elongated opening by a strap attached to the band.
