Blood pressure cuff
A blood pressure cuff includes a first bladder having a width, and a length transverse to the width. The blood pressure cuff also includes a second bladder connected to the first bladder and a port fluidly connected to at least one of the first and second bladders.
1. A blood pressure cuff, comprising:
a first bladder having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, a width, a length transverse to the width, and a bottom surface extending along the length from the first end to the second end;
a second bladder connected to the first bladder such that when the blood pressure cuff is worn around a limb of a patient
the first bladder contacts a skin surface of the limb;
a first port fluidly connected to the first bladder;
a second port fluidly connected to the second bladder; and
a tail connected to the first bladder, the tail including a slot configured to accept only the first port when the blood pressure cuff is worn around an arm of a first patient having a first circumference, and only the second port when the blood pressure cuff is worn around an arm of a second patient having a second circumference different than the first circumference.
2. The blood pressure cuff of claim 1 , wherein the second bladder is disposed within the first bladder.
3. The blood pressure cuff of claim 2 , wherein the second bladder is fluidly separate from the first bladder.
4. The blood pressure cuff of claim 2 , wherein the first bladder is inflatable to a first height, and the second bladder is inflatable to a second height less than the first height.
5. The blood pressure cuff of claim 2 , wherein when the first bladder is in an inflated state, a bottom of the first bladder includes a contact zone at least 3 inches wide.
6. A blood pressure cuff, comprising:
a first bladder;
a second bladder disposed within the first bladder;
a first port fluidly connected to the first bladder;
a second port fluidly connected to the second bladder; and
a tail connected to the first bladder, the tail including a slot configured to accept only the first port when the blood pressure cuff is worn around an arm of a first patient having a first circumference, and only the second port when the blood pressure cuff is worn around an arm of a second patient having a second circumference different than the first circumference.
7. The blood pressure cuff of claim 6 , wherein the second bladder is fluidly separate from the first bladder.
8. The blood pressure cuff of claim 6 , wherein the first bladder is inflatable to a first height, and the second bladder is inflatable to a second height less than the first height.
9. A blood pressure cuff, comprising:
a first bladder having a width, and a length transverse to the width;
a second bladder disposed within and connected to the first bladder;
a first port fluidly connected to the first bladder;
a second port fluidly connected to the second bladder; and
a tail connected to the first bladder, the tail including a slot configured to accept only the first port when the blood pressure cuff is worn around an arm of a first patient having a first circumference, and only the second port when the blood pressure cuff is worn around an arm of a second patient having a second circumference different than the first circumference.
10. The blood pressure cuff of claim 9 , wherein the second bladder is fluidly separate from the first bladder.
