Blood Pressure Monitors may be divided into 4 basic categories plus specialty monitors. Click on title of category you wish to view.

 

 

Automatic Inflation Electronic Monitors - These units represent the best mix of accuracy and convenience for most people. The automatic inflation is both a nice convenience and enables people with arthritis to monitor their blood pressure without pain. Some models include memory for easy recall of recent readings or printers for a permanent record of your readings.

 

"Wristwatch" Blood Pressure Monitors - These compact and convenient models allow you to take your blood pressure quickly with very good accuracy. Ease-of-use has made these monitors the fastest growing segment of the blood pressure monitor market. Since there's no need to remove a jacket or sweater, they can be much quicker than upper arm models. Wrist units are generally regarded as more accurate than finger units because of greater blood flow and it is less likely that environmental factors will affect a reading from the wrist.
