• sphygmomanometer
• subcutaneous bleeding
• skin-protective cuff
• blood pressure measurement

Objective. Repeated blood pressure measurement with a sphygmomanometer often produces skin redness and subcutaneous bleeding in clinical settings. Recently, we have produced a new reusable skin-protective cuff with an additional sheet. Methods. We evaluated skin damage and blood pressure measurement accuracy when using the new cuffs. We also evaluated upper arm deformity by CT scan during cuff inflation. Pulse wave amplitude evaluation was carried out with an NIBP simulator and our original system. Results. The use of this cuff reduced subcutaneous bleeding and pain with cuff inflation and enabled accurate blood pressure measurement. Conclusion. We produced a new skin protective reusable sphygmomanometer cuff.
