Product type
Blood pressure monitors are medical devices used to measure the pressure of blood in the arteries. They typically consist of an inflatable cuff, a measuring unit, and a display for readings. The device works by inflating the cuff around the arm or wrist to temporarily stop blood flow, then gradually releasing the pressure to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels. Blood pressure monitors can be digital or manual, with digital models being more common for home use due to their ease of use and readability.
