CUFF & BLADDER THIGH VELCRO NYLON – SINGLE AND DUAL TUBE

A thigh cuff and bladder with Velcro nylon is specifically designed for measuring blood pressure on the thigh, especially in cases where arm measurement isn’t suitable, or for those who require larger cuff sizes. Here are the details for single and dual-tube options:

Thigh Cuff and Bladder Specifications

• Material: Nylon outer layer with a latex or non-latex bladder for inflation, and a Velcro closure for easy adjustment.
• Size: Typically larger than standard cuffs, with circumferences ranging from 40 cm to 66 cm.
• Inflation Bladder: Reinforced for durability under high pressures required for thigh measurements.

Types of Tubing

1. Single-Tube Cuff and Bladder

   • Design: Features one tube connecting the cuff to the sphygmomanometer or manual inflation bulb.
   • Usage: Common with automated blood pressure monitors or specific manual types.
   • Advantages: Simpler design, fewer points for potential leakage.

2. Dual-Tube Cuff and Bladder

   • Design: Has two tubes; one connects to the pressure gauge, and the other connects to the inflation bulb.
   • Usage: Used primarily with manual sphygmomanometers for more precise control and measurements.
   • Advantages: Offers flexibility and a faster, even inflation, suitable for professional or hospital settings.
