Blood Pressure

关于

Hypertension is a common medical condition in the United States, with nearly half of adults (47% or 116 million) diagnosed as hypertensive (CDC, 2021). Out of the 116 million hypertension patients, 91.7 million, or 79%, need a combination of lifestyle changes and medication to get their blood pressure under control. To effectively implement this, in addition to regular in-hospital blood pressure monitoring, more physicians are recommending the use of at-home blood pressure monitors to keep track of the patient’s blood pressure and ensure that they are on the right dosage. At-home or portable blood pressure monitors are also used to confirm whether a patient has true blood pressure, monitor pregnant women with signs of pregnancy-induced hypertension, and monitor patients with coexisting conditions such as diabetes. Tiger Medical carries a variety of Hospital Blood Pressure Monitors and Home Blood Pressure Monitors to help physicians form a holistic hypertension intervention unique to each patient’s needs.

These are the most common blood pressure monitors used in hospitals. We carry a variety of Mercury Sphygmomanometers with safety features to prevent mercury spills. Aneroid Sphygmomanometers Aneroid Sphygmomanometers are a kind of BP monitor that does not use mercury, making them a safe and affordable alternative to Mercury Sphygmomanometers. Since Aneroid Sphygmomanometers use delicate mechanisms to measure BP and require regular recalibration, it is ideal for the hospital instead of home use. Tiger Medical carries a variety of Aneroid Sphygmomanometers ranging from Pocket Aneroids to Wall-Mounted / Mobile Aneroid Sphygmomanometers.
