BP Cuff With Bladder

Description

A BP cuff with bladder and bulb made of rubber is part of a traditional manual sphygmomanometer, used for measuring blood pressure. Here’s a breakdown of its components:

1. BP Cuff:
   • A fabric band, typically made of durable nylon or similar material, that wraps around the arm.
   • Inside the cuff is a rubber bladder, which inflates to apply pressure to the arm and temporarily restrict blood flow in the artery.
2. Bladder:
   • The inflatable portion of the cuff made of rubber or synthetic material.
   • It is responsible for creating the pressure needed to occlude blood flow.
3. Bulb:
   • A squeezable pump, also made of rubber, used to manually inflate the bladder.
   • It includes a release valve to control air pressure, allowing gradual deflation during blood pressure measurement.
4. Rubber Material:
   • Chosen for its flexibility, durability, and ability to hold air pressure effectively.
   • It provides a secure, leak-resistant performance during measurements.
