Abstract:
1. A protective liner for use with a blood pressure measuring cuff on a person's arm, comprising: a first layer of material formed of woven fabric adapted to contact and protect a person's skin, said first layer of material having pores therethrough configured to permit passage of water vapor therethrough, and having first and second ends, first and second planar sides, and first and second side edges; a second layer of material formed of a porous polymeric film having pores having a diameter less than or equal to 0.027 μm therethrough configured to permit passage of water vapor therethrough while substantially preventing passage of microbes therethrough, and having first and second ends, first and second planar sides, and first and second side edges, said second layer of material being joined to said first layer of material, and said first and second layers of material together forming a multilayer protective sheet material having first and second ends, first and second planar sides, and first and second side edges; and a third layer of material interposed between said first and second layers of material, said third layer being formed of a nonabsorbent wicking material, and said first, second and third layers of material together forming said multilayer protective sheet material, such that when the protective liner is applied over the skin of the person's arm, the protective liner is configured to wick moisture away from the skin of the person's arm; and a first low-tack adhesive portion applied to a first area of said first layer of material adjacent to said second end of said first planar side of said multilayer protective sheet material, said first low-tack adhesive portion being configured to be removably adhered to the skin of the person's arm, and a second low-tack adhesive portion applied to a second area of said second layer of material adjacent to said second end of said second planar side of said multilayer protective sheet material, said second low-tack adhesive portion being configured to be removably adhered to said first end of said multilayer protective sheet material, the protective liner having a total thickness range between 16 mils to 32 mils to provide substantially no interference with blood pressure detection through the protective liner with the blood pressure measuring cuff.
