Sphygmomanometer

A sphygmomanometer is a medical device used to measure blood pressure. It consists of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit, and a stethoscope. The cuff is placed around the upper arm and inflated, compressing the artery in the arm and temporarily stopping the flow of blood. The measuring unit is used to measure the pressure in the cuff, while the stethoscope is used to listen to the pulse of the artery.

Sphygmomanometers are used by healthcare professionals to diagnose and monitor conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes. They are also used to assess the effectiveness of treatments for these conditions. The price range for sphygmomanometers varies depending on the type and features of the device. Basic models start at around $50, while more advanced devices can cost upwards of $500.

There are many manufacturers of sphygmomanometers, including Welch Allyn, Omron, and A&D Medical. These manufacturers offer a wide range of devices, from basic models to more advanced devices with additional features such as digital displays and memory storage.
