blood pressure cuff
Inflatable diagnostic band
A blood pressure cuff is the inflatable band wrapped around the upper arm to measure blood pressure.
It tightens to temporarily stop blood flow, then slowly releases while a gauge or digital monitor reads the pressure.
Medical professionals use them routinely; home versions let people track their own readings: The nurse strapped on the blood pressure cuff.
