Abstract

A blood pressure cuff encircles a portion of a living organism. The blood pressure cuff includes a sleeve having an interior surface, an exterior surface, an upper edge, a lower edge, a primary side edge and a secondary side edge. A blood pressure bladder is coupled to the interior surface of the sleeve. A first base hook is coupled to the exterior surface. A second base hook is coupled to the exterior surface. An anchoring hook is coupled to the interior surface. The anchoring hook engages the first base hook for defining a first sleeve diameter dimension. The anchoring hook engages the second base hook for defining a second sleeve diameter dimension. The first sleeve diameter dimension and the second sleeve diameter dimension define an adjustable sleeve for encircling a plurality of living organisms.
