Description

  The present invention relates to a cuff sanitary cover that is detachably attached to a cuff for a blood pressure monitor.

  As shown in FIGS. 33 and 34, an arm sphygmomanometer that measures the blood pressure by compressing the artery of the upper arm is wound around the arm band b of the cuff a around the upper arm c, and is built in the arm band b. A required amount of air is supplied to the air bag d through the tube e, and then the pressure is gradually relaxed to measure the blood pressure.

  When measuring blood pressure, the cuff a is attached to the arm in this way, so that sweat and sebum easily adhere to the contact portion f with the arm on the inner side of the arm band b, and bacteria grow on these and smell bad. Caused a problem to shoot. In addition, blood from the wound may adhere to the inner side f of the arm band b, which may cause sanitary problems such as bacterial infection.

  In particular, in hospitals and facilities, such cuffs are frequently used, so such problems are likely to occur, and this is the case when one sphygmomanometer is used by multiple people even at home. It was easy to cause a problem.

  When the cuff becomes dirty in this way, it is difficult to replace the cuff frequently because it is too expensive. Therefore, a cuff for a sphygmomanometer is proposed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 8-150127 which suppresses the growth of bacteria with an antibacterial agent to prevent malodor. The cuff for a sphygmomanometer has a configuration in which an antibacterial agent is provided at least in a portion that comes into contact with a living body of a pressurized air container that is attached to the living body portion and pressurizes the living body portion by introducing pressurized air. Thus, even if sweat or sebum adheres to or is absorbed by the cuff, the antibacterial agent suppresses the growth of bacteria and prevents bad odor.

  However, the cuff provided with such an antibacterial agent only suppresses the growth of bacteria by the antibacterial agent and cannot prevent the growth of bacteria. It was not possible to remove sweat, sebum, etc. absorbed or adhering to the cuff. Therefore, the antibacterial cuff is difficult to sufficiently solve the sanitary problem due to reuse, and the cuff contaminated with sweat, sebum, blood and bacteria is frequently replaced. It was difficult as well.
