Patent Issued for Cuff unit and sphygmomanometer (USPTO 12070296).

A patent has been issued to OMRON Healthcare Co. Ltd. for a cuff unit and sphygmomanometer. The inventors identified a problem with existing cuff units, where the restraining force and pressing force were insufficient due to the large operation range of the actuator. The new cuff unit described in the patent aims to provide a solution by using a first wall, a second wall, a pressing fluid bag, a restraining fluid bag, a third wall, a support wall, an actuator fluid bag, and a pressurizing pump. The patent also includes a sphygmomanometer that incorporates this cuff unit. For more information, refer to the patent document. [Extracted from the article]
