What's so special about the ADCUFF™?

ADCUFF™ is the trademarked name for ADC's line of professional blood pressure cuffs, inflation bladders, and SPU (single patient use) cuffs. The ADCUFF™ was carefully designed to balance the requirements of ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060 and AHA recommendations while combining the real-world needs of our customers.

  • Bladders are designed to encircle a minimum of 80% of the maximum limb circumference for which they were intended in order to ensure proper compression of the brachial (or femoral) artery. Bladder width is no less than 40% of bladder length.
  • Bladders are made from latex-free PVC. Each is marked with our part number and its size name to facilitate identification and re-order.  Our proprietary convertible bladder can be used with both single and double tube systems.

Reusable ADCUFF™s incorporate the following features, many of which are proprietary:

  • Fabricated from 210 denier nylon in a large array of colors - durable but comfortable.
  • Sewn with 11 threads per inch.
  • Hook and loop adhesive designed to withstand a minimum of 30,000 open close cycles (many low priced imports use inferior adhesive that wears quickly).
  • Artery mark on both inside and outside of cuff properly indicate bladder midpoint in accordance with ANSI recommendations (many cuffs on the market have a mis-positioned or misleading two arrow artery mark)
  • Optional color coding by size
  • Size icon system simplifies rapid visual identification of size.
  • Gauge hang tab to facilitate use with pocket aneroid (some competitive cuffs are designed for use ONLY with mercurial instruments)
  • Size Guide System™ marking system. Indicates applicable limb range and warns if larger or smaller cuff is needed.
  • Bladder flap secures bladder within cuff and prevents bulging during inflation, or separation from cuff when used with mobile or wall mounted instruments
  • "Property of" tag facilitates marking for better stock control.
  • Three year UNCONDITIONAL warranty.
