A sphygmomanometer is medical device that is used to measure the blood pressure of a person. It consists of a cuff that can be inflated to stop the blood flow and Mercury meter or manometer that is used to measure the blood pressure. It is commonly used along with the stethoscope. It was invented by Samuel Siegfried Karl Ritter von Basch in 1881.
It is a device used to measure blood pressure, comprising an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, and a mercury or mechanical manometer to measure the pressure. It is always used in conjunction with a means to determine at what pressure blood flow is just starting, and at what pressure it is unimpeded. Manual sphygmomanometers are used in conjunction with a stethoscope.
