EBME Forums Forums Maintenance Spare Parts NIBP CUFFS

Where do people buy NIBP cuffs from ? We want a generic cuff that we can use on all monitors that is not too expensive.
Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Try ProAct, they have an extensive range of cuffs.

PROACT. Could also try Pulmolink. However, if you want (what are arguably) the best!

Off on a slight tangent ... am I right in assuming that "double tube" cuffs are the de-facto standard these days (on the grounds that they can fit, or be adapted to fit, any and all NIBP monitors in the hospital)?

We use Accoson cuffs, out of the NHS catalogue.

Try Henleys Medical

Try Welch Allyn - they have a cuff, the flexiport, which might meet you needs.

Well we are using Henley's they are around £10 each and come with any connector you desire. Welch Allyn are very good cuffs and the new flexiport design works well. We intend to convert later this year, when we can agree the price!

Minitech,

Try TrimLine Cuffs. They are made of 200 denier, have the antimicrobial impregnated (unlike most others which are kiss coated and can leach), the 'Velcro' doesnt degrade and is easy to open. They are a balanced bladder so the cant make the mistake of putting them on the wrong arm (big safety factor in the US).

Unlike a few other companies Trimline are a Kuff manufacturer there range is huge all the way from neonates to the large adult. They also come in a huge variety of connectors and also have the option of a conversion system to make all cuffs standard.

The cuffs are similarly priced to the ones quoted check out the web for Trimline or ProACT Medicals site as the are the UK supplier.

p.s The cuffs are also on the NHS supply chain NPC codes.

Does anybody know if the Trimline Universal Connectivity kits are still available (from Welch Allyn, perhaps)?

If not, can anyone suggest a similar kit?

[fifteen minutes later]:- OK guys, relax ... here it is (at £ 113.68 a go, apparently)! See also the Trimline catalogue. There's some nice information there.

Minitech,

Try to contact H&T Global Medical Inc.
www.ht-global-medical.com
They carry all sort of & sizes of generic and original "Cuffs Reusable and disposable ones for almost all monitors.

Good Luck

Welcome to the forum, Wael.

When you say "they", I assume that you mean "we". Nothing wrong with that, except to point out that Ville de Québec is a long way from the M25!

Note also that Minitech's enquiry was made well over two years ago. So (hopefully) he has got things sorted out by now. Fortunately (and as has been indicated), we have a number of good suppliers of this stuff right here in Blighty.

Bonne Chance!

Yes ... it turns out that that is good advice!

I have a couple of nice priced .pdf's from Henleys if anyone wants them.
