Couldn't load pickup availability
Manual aneroid (dial-gauge) sphygmomanometer for clinical, hospital, primary care and maternity blood pressure measurement. Extra-Velcro adult cuff covers full range of arm circumferences with assured grip. Precision control valve for perfect pressure drop rate (2-3 mmHg/sec per AHA guideline). Optimum damping effect for fast, easy measurement without needle bounce. Fused-type permanent graduation marking on glass tube (won't wear off with cleaning). Surface plating on all exposed metal parts prevents corrosion. Classic hi-stove painted body withstands any climate. $199 direct.
Applications
- Maternity and OB-GYN wards: prenatal and antenatal BP monitoring, pre-eclampsia surveillance
- Primary care and family medicine: routine BP measurement and hypertension screening
- Hospital ward BP monitoring: nursing and rounds workflow
- Emergency departments: triage and acute BP measurement
- Home health and visiting nurse: portable BP measurement in patient home
- Nursing schools and medical training: teaching manual BP measurement skills
- Rural and resource-limited clinics: where automated BP monitors aren't available or reliable
- Veterinary practices: small and large animal BP measurement (with appropriate cuff)
- NGO and humanitarian medicine: field clinic and refugee camp BP monitoring

FAQ
How does this compare to Welch Allyn / Riester / ADC sphygmomanometers?
Feature parity, precision aneroid gauge, adjustable adult cuff with Velcro, control valve, permanent graduation. Premium OEMs have slightly better needle response and longer 3-year warranty. Price differential: $199 vs $80-$180 for premium OEMs (actually MORE expensive due to brand pricing). Our aneroid delivers full clinical utility at competitive pricing.
Aneroid vs digital BP monitors: which is better?
Aneroid (this) is the reference standard, no batteries, mechanical reliability, works in any climate. Digital BP monitors are faster, easier for untrained users but have accuracy variability and battery dependency. Every clinical setting should have at least one aneroid for reference verification of digital readings.
Do I need to calibrate?
Recommended annual calibration verification against a mercury column reference. In practice, aneroid drift is typically 1-3 mmHg per year, clinically acceptable for routine BP measurement. Send-in calibration service available.
Different cuff sizes for pediatric or bariatric?
This ships with standard adult cuff (fits ~24-32cm arm circumference). Pediatric cuffs ($30), obese/large adult cuffs ($40), and thigh cuffs ($60) available as separate accessories, critical for accurate BP in patients outside standard adult range (undersized cuff over-reads, oversized cuff under-reads).
