Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved inflat- 5 able blood pressure cuff for use with sphygmomanometers or similar equipment for deriving a patients blood pressure data.
- a cuff comprising an inflatable bag overlying a pad forming a cushion member which is distally placed under the inflatable bag as applied to a patient, whereby in operation of the cuff the pad anchors the cuff to the leg while the bag is filled with air.
- the bag is filled to the desired pressure at which time the filling is terminated.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a section of the cuff illustrated in FIG. 1.
- FIG. 1 a cloth cuff generally referred to as 11, having a first compartment for containing a bladder or bag 12, and a second compartment for containing a pad 13 serving as a cushion, said cushion comprising of a suitable material such as cloth, rubber, etc..
- bag 12 virtually extends across the entire width of the cloth cuff 11.
- the pad 13, on the other hand, is positioned, in its own compartment underneath the bag so as to be centered lengthwise with the bag. Widthwise, however, the pad 13 is positioned with one edge substantially aligned with one edge of the bag 12.
- a suitable aperture is provided in bag 12 for an inletoutlet air tube 14.
- the edge of the bag 12, along which an edge of the pad 13 is aligned, would be the distal edge of the cuff when applied about the patients thigh or other extremity.
- the edge of the bag 12, along which an edge of the pad 13 is aligned would be the distal edge of the cuff when applied about the patients thigh or other extremity.
- length of the pad may be anywhere from 60 to 80 percent of the bag length and roughly anywhere from 47 to 67 percent of the bag width.
- an affixing unit 15 which might comprise 15 of a pocket, Velcro member or other suitable receiving member, could be employed at the surface of the pad 13 to secure a transducer member utilized with the cuff such as,-for example, a microphone, piezoelectric crystal for ultrasonic application, strain-gauge member etc., through which transducer suitable signals could be derived for acquiring blood pressure or blood flow data.
- a transducer member utilized with the cuff such as,-for example, a microphone, piezoelectric crystal for ultrasonic application, strain-gauge member etc.
- cuff 11 is applied around an extremity such as a thigh so that the pad 13 is distally positioned.
- Air pressure is then applied from a suitable manual or Air continues to flow until the bag 12 is brought to the desired pressure at which time the filling is terminated.
- This balancing in the cuff with the configuration bag-pad arrangement maintains a pressure profile in the thigh which is substantially constant along the length of the cuff so as to maintain a fairly uniform pressure compression pattern for compression of the arteries of the leg and simultaneously maintains the transducer employed in firm engagement with the leg surface.
- the second stage of process is the emptying phase where air is exhausted to the atmosphere back through the tube 14.
- the pad maintains the cuff anchored to the extremity to insure an improved presssure distribution of this critical stage in which blood pressure data is being collected, such data being essential for diagnostic purposes.
- An inflatable medical cuff adapted to encircle and constrict an extremity of a subject for deriving blood pressure data including:
- said cuff including means for restraining said bag and said pad means in said cuff;
- said inflatable bag means and pad means positioned lengthwise along said cuff in an overlying relationship within the cuff, said pad means being smaller than the bag means in its transverse dimension perpendicular to the lengthwise direction;
- said pad means having a longitudinal centerline which is transversely offset relative to a longitudinal centerline of the bag means enabling said pad menas to be distally positioned transversely on the cuff.
- An inflatable medical cuff according to claim 1 said pad means having its distal longitudinal side sub- 3 4 stantially aligned with the distal longitudinal side of the 4.
