Abstract
A harness is provided for holding a blood pressure cuff in the correct position on the arm when being worn for extended periods of time. The harness has a support member that attaches by clasps directly to the cuff on the person's arm. The support member extends from the cuff to the shoulder region of the user so that the weight of the cuff is carried by the shoulder rather than by the arm through contact pressure from the cuff itself. The support member prevents slippage or rotation of the cuff throughout the monitoring period. A strap is provided that attaches to the support member at the shoulder region and runs under the other arm of the user to hold the support member in the correct position.
