<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a blood pressure measuring device with a cuff mounting structure, capable of measuring the blood pressure in the superficial temporal artery stably while holding the degree of invasion low. <P>SOLUTION: The blood pressure measuring device comprises a cuff 6 to be applied to the peripheral region of the superficial temporal artery of a subject, a holder means 15 for holding the cuff, a cavum conchae insertion part 54 to be inserted into the cavum conchae of the subject, a concha auriculae presser part to be filled in the space from the concha auriculae to the anthelix of the ear of the subject for pressing the concha auriculae, a pulse wave detecting means built in the cuff for detecting pulse wave signals from the blood flowing through the blood vessel, a pressurizing/depressurizing means for pressurizing or depressurizing the cuff by using fluid, a pressure detecting means for detecting the pressure of the cuff, and a blood pressure measurement control means for computing the blood pressure value from the pulse wave signals. The cuff is supported by the cavum conchae insertion part and the concha auriculae presser part. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
