  • Patent number: 5396894
    Abstract: A disposable blood pressure cuff for use in a conventional blood pressure measuring and/or monitoring system comprises an elongate, flexible, inflatable plastic sleeve sized to wrap around an individual's upper arm above the elbow, a flexible tube connected to the sleeve to enable the internal pressurization thereof, and an attached flexible plastic strip for releasably attaching the sleeve around an individual's arm. Both the sleeve and strip are constructed from a thin--about 0.016 inch thick--sheet of plastic material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), the surfaces of which are inherently self-adhering when cured to thereby cause overlying surfaces of the sleeve and strip to cling together against shearing forces when the cuff is wrapped around an individual's arm and the sleeve is pressurized through the attached pressurizing tube.
