BP Cuff

Good day:

While we can use the BP cuff in the skills lab (when it is open), it is recommended that students purchase their own so they can practice like crazy (good idea). What would you recommend for a reliable, but economic BP cuff (make, model, etc.)?

Thank you.

    It's based on our one dog modified that I wear glasses, and read a lot ;-)

    I bought a prestige medical one and it's lasted me 3 yrs. So far. It was only around $20. Worth buying.

    To those saying you don't need to practice because you will use electronic BP cuffs I say shame!

    There are plenty of areas that still use manual including some doctors offices and I work home health and it's all I've used the last 3 years (they're cheaper and our office provides them).

    Also the electronic ones sometimes give crazy readings and when I DID work in the hospital with fragile cardiac patients if the electronic cuff gave extremely high or extremely low I'd check a manual to verify it. Now if verifying a low BP on someone on a dopamine or nitro drip would it be better for that nurse to have some practice checking a manual BP or is it ok they have only done one a handful of times for check offs??

    I like the site allheart.com. Decent sales sometimes and have a good variety of cuffs in different price ranges.
