Home BP Monitors
The technical name for a blood pressure monitor is a sphygmomanometer. These monitors consist of the measuring unit and a blood pressure cuff which which wraps around the arm and inflates. When the cuff is inflated or pressurized it slightly restricts the flow of blood in the artery in the arm. A meter then measures the difference between the impeded and unimpeded blood flowing through the arm and --- voila, you have your blood pressure reading.
Today more and more people are taking a personal interest in monitoring their health and tracking changes. These Health Canada approved BP monitors are easy to use and allow the measuring of this vital medical reading in the comfort of your own home.
