Abstract
A blood pressure cuff assembly that can be self-applied. The fixed end of the cuff assembly captures a cinch ring. Lateral stiffness is imparted to the fixed end to prevent it from bunching on the cinch ring. The stiffness may be imparted by the material of the fixed end or a separate stiff member may be added to the fixed end. An interface piece may be employed to connect the fixed end to the cinch ring. Stiffness is imparted to the interface piece, the fixed end, or both.
