Arm cuff type versus wrist cuff type, manufacturer, cost, etc. Dear Robert, I am unaware of any studies in the literature that compare these devices, however the pharmacist at one of the major chains in your area will surely have an opinion. MOST importantly, regardless of the device you chose, is how well it calibrates to the blood pressure cuff at your physician's office. I hope this information is useful.
