A device designed to measure blood pressure consisting of an inflatable cuff that fits around a limb (arm or thigh), an inflation bulb for controlling the air pressure within the cuff, an aneroid manometer, and tubing. The manometer is hand held (portable); blood pressure measurement is taken in conjunction with a stethoscope. The aneroid manometer consists of a metal bellows, which expands as the pressure in the cuff increases, and a mechanical amplifier that transmits this expansion through a lever to an indicator needle, which rotates around a circular, calibrated scale.
