ABSTRACT:
A semi-disposable blood pressure cuff system is disclosed utilizing a sheet of cuff or bladder covers. The two-fold function is: to provide a protective covering for an existing blood pressure cuff or pneumatic tourniquet cuff and functions as the disposable member of a semi-disposable blood pressure cuff system. The cuff cover has a width and length of adequate dimension to cover and protect the functional cuff and is also of adequate size that, when paired with the commercially available cuff inflation bag, can function by itself as a blood pressure cuff. This allows the user to construct a new blood pressure cuff for use on each patient. The method disclosed is designed to protect the public from a known carrier of disease, i.e. the reusable blood pressure or tourniquet cuff. The packaged roll is perforated at designated lengths that correspond to the length of one cuff saver unit so that the user may tear away the desired unit for use much in the same way one tears away a paper towel from it's dispensing roll. Each unit is equipped with adhesive fastening devices along one edge of it's running length and also a patch of adhesive fastening according to the design specifications of that particular size unit.
