Why Choose Nylon Fabric? An Insight into Sphygmomanometer Cuff Materials

High blood pressure is a common condition that affects the body's arteries. It's also called hypertension. If you have high blood pressure, the force of the blood pushing against the artery walls is consistently too high. The heart has to work harder to pump blood.

Blood pressure is measured in millimeters of mercury (mm Hg). In general, hypertension is a blood pressure reading of 130/80 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) or higher.

The American College of Cardiology and the American Heart Association divide blood pressure into four general categories. Ideal blood pressure is categorized as normal.

• Normal blood pressure: Blood pressure is lower than 120/80 mm Hg.
• Elevated blood pressure: The top number ranges from 120 to 129 mm Hg and the bottom number is below, not above, 80 mm Hg.

Blood pressure higher than 180/120 mm Hg is considered a hypertensive emergency or crisis. Seek emergency medical help for anyone with these blood pressure numbers.

Untreated, high blood pressure increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and other serious health problems. It's important to have your blood pressure checked at least every two years starting at age 18. Some people need more-frequent checks.

Healthy lifestyle habits —such as not smoking, exercising and eating well — can help prevent and treat high blood pressure. Some people need medicine to treat high blood pressure.

To exam our blood pressure, we have to use a sphygmomanometer, consists of an inflatable rubber cuff, which wrapped around the upper arm. There are two main types of sphygmomanometers: electronic and manual.

Electronic blood pressure monitors: automatically measure blood pressure and provide a digital display of the measurement. They are mainly used by patients for self-measurement but are also increasingly being used by health care professionals. There are two types of electronic blood pressure monitors:

• Arm: these easy-to-use devices consist of an armband and an electronic pressure gauge. Taking measurements with arm blood pressure monitors may be more painful than with wrist models.
• Wrist: they have a cuff that attaches around the wrist. The electronic pressure gauge is mounted directly on the cuff, which saves a lot of space. These devices are ideal for patients who travel a lot.

Usually the cuff of a sphygmomanometer is made of Nylon fabric for medical use. This cuff is an essential tool for measuring blood pressure and is made from high-quality Nylon materials to ensure accuracy and reliability.
