5.0 out of 5 stars Great Sphyg, November 29, 2008

I bought TWO of these, one for myself, and another for a friend and we've been using these for our rotations the past 8 months. Both are still functional, and heavily used. Neither of us have had any problem using it. Both have been dropped and banged a few times, and they still work great.

******The price is reasonable. I have no compelling argument against purchasing this product. It does exactly what it should, and seems durable.

Note: This is it, don't look anymore unless you want a better price. Spending more than this on some other product is foolish and pointless. Buy a good steth, don't get caught up on the sphyg.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent BP Cuff for Nursing Students!, September 26, 2009

This review is from: Prestige Aneroid Sphygmomanometer with Black Cuff (Health and Beauty)

I bought this cuff from a local medical uniform supply store so that I could practice taking blood pressure. I'm a new nursing student, and being on a budget, I was pretty limited in what I could purchase. But the ancient cuffs that the school allowed us to check out had seen better days: the release valves were tough to open reulting in some patient discomfort!

This cuff is quite nice for the price: If the dial is ever off more than three mm/Hg (which is easy to discern via the small box at the "6 o'clock" position), Prestige will reclaibrate it for you (just keep your receipt). The bladder releases very easily and quietly, which is great to help reduce extraneous noise while listening through a stehoscope. The cuff also has a sewn-in name tag and labels for where to line up the artery on the left and right arms, and a size guide.

One caveat: the Velcro portion of the straps is EXTREMELY grippy. Now, this is normally a good thing since it ensures a secure fit around a patient's arm. But with all the pulling to undo it, I was concerned that the seams would rip. I got a small bottle of Locktite glue, and placed a small bit of adhesive under the Velcro flaps along the seams to further anchor it to the cuff. It feels much more secure now!

Being a male, I wasn't too impressed with some of the other styles of BP cuffs available at the store(I'm not really a Betty Boop or hot pink kind of guy!). But the royal blue color I bought is really nice looking; a very deep hue. And it doesn't look like every other black BP cuff around school. The included matching case also has a side pouch where I keep my warranty info and receipt handy.

When all is said and done, this is a great low-cost BP cuff for students that allows for ample practice of vital sign skills on your own time. It was worth the money to avoid using a junky loaner!

I have been buying this brand BP cuff for some time now. It's good quality for the money. I work as a visiting nurse and take many BP's in the course of a week and I'm satisfied with how it holds up. It comes in some nice colors and patterns with a plain black case.
