A forearm blood pressure cuff comprising:
- an arcuate shaped sleeve;
- an arcuate shaped cuff bladder retained by the sleeve;
- and
- a retention feature secured to the sleeve;
- wherein the retention feature is adapted to compress as the forearm blood pressure cuff is applied to a patient, and wherein the compression is adapted to generate a force securing the forearm blood pressure cuff to the patient and to thereby minimize migration of the forearm blood pressure cuff during a blood pressure measurement.
2 more elements
