A sphygmomanometer is a medical device used to measure blood pressure. It typically consists of an inflatable cuff to restrict blood flow, a measuring unit (either a mercury column or an aneroid gauge), and a mechanism for inflation, which can be a manually operated bulb or a pump. This device is essential in diagnosing and monitoring hypertension and other cardiovascular conditions.
