Often, the upper arm of a bariatric patient is tapered or V-shaped. This prevents smooth application of a standard (rectangular) blood pressure cuff because it does not conform to the tapered shape of the limb. A gap at the bottom of the cuff near the elbow is a common occurrence and is a clear indication of an improperly applied cuff.
The Baum Bariatric Inflation System is curved, easy to apply, and naturally conforms to a tapered limb. The result is proper cuff application and even artery compression.
Comfortable: The cuffs conform to the shape of the limb and have no hard, rigid edges.
Durable: Baum cuffs are made of tightly woven, heat-set Dacron® polyester fabric, double-stitched at critical points for long life. Hook-and-loop fasteners are uniformly matched in holding strength to provide the optimum number of open-close cycles. Each cuff is treated with an effective antimicrobial agent.
Latex Free: Available for those hypersensitive to natural rubber latex.
Guaranteed: Latex and latex-free inflation bags, bulbs and tubes are guaranteed for five years. The Baum Bariatric Inflation System:
- Includes a custom-fit Dacron® polyester curved cuff
