Pressure Monitors

Discover reliable high-tech blood pressure monitors, easy to use for absolutely correct and accurate measurements. Find digital or analog wrist or arm sphygmomanometers according to your preferences in the Traumacare online store. Digital and analog sphygmomanometers are both designed to measure blood pressure but work in different ways. Analog sphygmomanometers or pressure monitors consist of an armband, a pump, a pump valve and the use of a stethoscope. It requires manual inflation of the cuff and the user listens with a stethoscope to detect Korotkoff sounds (blood flow sounds) to determine systolic and diastolic pressure. Accuracy may depend on the user's ability to hear and interpret Korotkoff sounds.
Digital pressure monitors or sphygmomanometers are automated and electrical, which is why their use is more widespread. The cuff inflates automatically and the device uses sensors to detect blood flow sounds and calculate blood pressure values. It can provide more consistent and objective readings as they are less dependent on the user's skills. However, accuracy may still depend on the quality of the sphygmomanometer and proper use.
