It has long been suspected that a major cause of the spread of infection between patients is the use of reusable blood pressure cuffs.
Single-use blood pressure cuff
While it would be impractical and uneconomical to use single patient use cuffs in all areas, certain departments can benefit from their use to reduce the possibility of serious cross contamination. SoftCheck single patient use cuffs, from HENLEYS MEDICAL SUPPLIES, are latex free and available in soft fabric or vinyl versions with single or double hoses. Sized from neonatal to adult thigh, they are supplied pre-fitted with any connector so will fit all available NIBP monitors.
