Description
The Thames Medical SuperCuff is a groundbreaking innovation in feline healthcare.
Meticulously crafted to address the unique anatomical needs of cats during blood pressure monitoring. Traditional cuffs, such as the Hokanson cuff, often compromise accuracy and comfort, leading to increased stress for both the patient and the practitioner. Our feline-focused cuff revolutionizes this process by offering a tailored solution that enhances precision and ease of use.
Key Features:
-
Enhanced Patient Comfort: The Supersoft material gently conforms to the cat’s limb, promoting a calmer demeanor and facilitating more accurate readings.
-
Secure and Simple Application: Equipped with a real Velcro closure, the cuff ensures a snug fit without causing discomfort, making the application process straightforward and efficient.
-
Optimal Design for Precise Readings: The cuff’s width is meticulously proportioned to the limb circumference, adhering to the critical 40% ratio. This design guarantees reliable and precise blood pressure measurements.
-
Clinician-Informed Development: Developed in collaboration with clinicians who have diligently measured hundreds of feline patients, the Supersoft Cat Cuff incorporates comprehensive tail and limb circumference data, ensuring an optimal fit and improved accuracy over traditional cuffs.
-
Versatile Usage: Each cuff is labeled ‘Tail’ and ‘Leg’ to indicate the primary intended limb. However, these labels do not restrict their use; the cuffs can be applied interchangeably based on the patient’s size and specific needs.
-
Seamless Compatibility: Designed for convenience, the Supersoft Cat Cuff is fully compatible with the renowned CAT+ Doppler and Lutech BP connectors without the need for adjustments—simply plug in and begin monitoring.
Sizing Guidelines:
-
Tail Cuff: Pre-measured to fit the majority of cats’ tails, ensuring the essential 40% cuff width to limb circumference ratio.
-
Leg Cuff: Designed primarily for cats’ forelimbs, this cuff also maintains the critical sizing ratio for accurate measurements.
To determine the appropriate cuff size, observe the fit: if the cuff overlaps, opt for the smaller ‘Tail’ cuff, even when measuring the leg. Conversely, if the cuff doesn’t wrap around the limb securely with the Velcro tab, select the larger ‘Leg’ cuff. The correct size ensures the Velcro fits snugly without overlapping the cuff bladder.
Compatibility:
The SuperCuff bladder is engineered to conform gently to the limb, effectively occluding the artery upon inflation. For practitioners utilizing oscillometric systems, the Supersoft cuff enhances data accuracy by transmitting a cleaner pulse pressure wave from the patient to the monitor.
