  • Patent number: 11612357
    Abstract: A blood pressure monitor cuff is formed by stacking an outer circumferential layer arranged on a side opposite to that of a measurement site and a fluid bladder arranged on the measurement site side. The outer circumferential layer and the fluid bladder are formed of an elastomer material. Two edge portions in a lengthwise direction of the outer circumferential layer protrude in a thickness direction toward the measurement site. The fluid bladder includes a base layer that opposes the outer circumferential layer and a top layer overlapping with the base layer, and the edge portions of the base layer and the top layer are welded together forming a bladder shape. Additional sheets are welded in the thickness direction to the welded edge portions of the top layer and the base layer. The fluid bladder is arranged between the two edge portions of the outer circumferential layer in the width direction.

  • Publication number: 20210290090
    Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device includes a curler that curves to follow a circumferential direction of a site of a living body where the curler is attached, and a cuff. The cuff includes a plurality of bag-like structures layered on one another, each of the plurality of bag-like structures being elongated in one direction, formed by welding two sheet members formed of a resin material, and configured to be inflated with a fluid, and a joined portion provided on at least a portion of an edge portion of the bag-like structure disposed facing the curler, the joined portion being formed by a portion of the sheet members constituting the bag-like structure disposed facing the curler and joined to an outer circumferential surface side of the curler.

  • Publication number: 20210236012
    Abstract: A blood pressure measurement device enabling an increase in joining strength between a cuff and a junction target preventing an increase in size of the blood pressure measurement device. The device includes a case including an outer case having a tubular shape, a curler curving in such a manner as to follow along a circumferential direction of a portion of the wrist where the blood pressure measurement device is attached, the curler including a first facing portion aligned at one end of the outer case in a thickness direction, and a back-side cuff formed of two sheets formed of a resin material, the back-side cuff being configured to be inflated with a fluid, one of the sheet members that is disposed on the curler side including a second facing portion facing the first facing portion, and the second facing portion being larger than other portions of the back-side cuff.
