Description
Aneroid Sphygmomanometer
Say the words “aneroid sphygmomanometer” to most people in the country, and they will look at you confused. Say them to any person in the medical community, and they will immediately know you are talking about a blood pressure monitoring device. Aneroid sphygmomanometers are comprised of an inflatable cuff that collapses then releases the artery under the cuff in a precisely controlled manner.
Inside of the device, a mercury or mechanical manometer is used to measure the pressure in conjunction with a device to measure the pressure where blood flow is just starting and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual aneroid sphygmomanometers are used with a stethoscope to hear these points.
