I had originally owned an ADC Sphyg with a child cuff and its time to replace it. I have been told that I now need a small adult cuff. I don’t understand. Did you change the name of the cuffs?

Yes. But ONLY the names. In August 2011, we re-engineered our ADCUFFs – the worlds most feature rich, traditionally bladdered cuffs. The most noticeable change was the elimination of Latex from all models (we had previously offered our ADCUFFs in both latex or latex-free options). Another change was to follow the cuff naming nomenclature employed in the acute care (hospital) sector to ensure greater naming consistency. The applicable limb ranges weren’t changed – only SOME of the names we used to describe them were changed. Below is the conversion chart.

Old Name New Name Range
Newborn Infant 9-14
Infant Child 13-19.5
Child Small Adult 19-27
Adult Adult 23-40
Large Adult Large Adult 34-50
Thigh Thigh 40-66
