Abstract:
A blood pressure monitor cuff is formed by stacking an outer circumferential layer arranged on a side opposite to that of a measurement site and a fluid bladder arranged on the measurement site side. The outer circumferential layer and the fluid bladder are formed of an elastomer material. Two edge portions in a lengthwise direction of the outer circumferential layer protrude in a thickness direction toward the measurement site. The fluid bladder includes a base layer that opposes the outer circumferential layer and a top layer overlapping with the base layer, and the edge portions of the base layer and the top layer are welded together forming a bladder shape. Additional sheets are welded in the thickness direction to the welded edge portions of the top layer and the base layer. The fluid bladder is arranged between the two edge portions of the outer circumferential layer in the width direction.

Claim (Index 11):
A manufacturing method for manufacturing a band-shaped blood pressure monitor cuff to be wrapped around a measurement site,\n wherein the cuff is formed by stacking an outer circumferential layer arranged on a side opposite to that of the measurement site, and a fluid bladder that is arranged on the measurement site side and swells and contracts by letting a fluid in and out, wherein the outer circumferential layer and the fluid bladder are formed of an elastomer material, wherein two edge portions extending in a lengthwise direction of the outer circumferential layer protrude in a thickness direction toward the measurement site, wherein the fluid bladder includes a reinforcing layer that opposes the outer circumferential layer and prevents outward swelling of the fluid bladder, and a sheet that is arranged so as to overlap with the side of the reinforcing layer opposite to that of the outer circumferential layer, edge portions of the reinforcing layer and the sheet being welded to form a bladder shape, and wherein the fluid bladder is arranged between the two edge portions of the outer circumferential layer in a width direction, which is perpendicular to the lengthwise direction, the manufacturing method comprising:\n preparing a reinforcing layer; \n manufacturing an intermediate body composed of the reinforcing layer and the outer circumferential layer by laying resin that forms material of the outer circumferential layer through insertion molding on the outer surface of the reinforcing layer; and \n adhering or welding a circumferential edge portion of the sheet prepared in advance along the inner surface of the reinforcing layer of the intermediate body so as to form the fluid bladder composed of the reinforcing layer and the sheet.
