Material: It’s typically made of durable fabric.
Inflatable: The cuff inflates to apply pressure to the artery and then slowly deflates, allowing a blood pressure monitor to measure systolic and diastolic pressures.
Size: The size of the cuff is crucial for accurate readings. It should be the correct size for the user’s arm or wrist.
Placement: For upper arm cuffs, the cuff should be placed on the upper arm at heart level. For wrist cuffs, the wrist should be held at heart level.
