  • Patent number: 11918327
    Abstract: A sphygmomanometer according to the present disclosure includes a main body that is mounted with a pump and is to be disposed on a dorsal surface of a wrist and a cuff that is to be attached around the wrist. The cuff extends along a circumferential direction of the wrist from an ulnar side end portion of the main body to a palmar surface and is set to a length covering an ulnar artery or a length covering a radial artery beyond the ulnar artery of a wrist having a preset maximum wrist circumference. A fluid is supplied from the pump to the cuff to press the wrist. A blood pressure is calculated based on a pressure of the fluid contained in the cuff.

  • Patent number: 11850031
    Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes a main body mounted with a pump, a belt, and a cuff structure. The cuff structure having a band shape is disposed facing an inner circumferential surface of the belt in a freely separable manner from the inner circumferential surface of the belt. One end of the cuff structure is attached to the main body. The cuff structure includes a bag-shaped pressure cuff that extends along a circumferential direction of a measurement target site, a bag-shaped sensing cuff that extends in the circumferential direction across an artery passing portion of the measurement target site, and a back plate that is inserted between the pressure cuff and the sensing cuff. A blood pressure is calculated based on a pressure of a pressure transmission fluid contained in the sensing cuff.

  • Patent number: 11832922
    Abstract: A sphygmomanometer includes: a bag-shaped sensing cuff to be worn to wrap a measurement site; a back plate disposed on the sensing cuff along a surface opposite to the measurement site; a pressing member for pressing the back plate toward the measurement site; and a blood-pressure calculating part calculating a blood pressure based on a pressure of a fluid stored in the sensing cuff. Regarding a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a circumferential direction of the measurement site to be wrapped by the sensing cuff, a surface facing the measurement site in edge potions on both sides in a width direction along the longitudinal direction of the back plate is curved in a direction away from the measurement site toward tips.
