Abstract
The pliant, elongate inflatable band of a sphygomanometer is provided with a pair of elongate tensioning cords each extending from one end of the band to assist a patient in applying the band to an upper portion of his arm without the assistance of another person, thus allowing the patient to take his own blood pressure measurement.
