Additional Information for Sphygmomanometer Mercury Tube
A Sphygmomanometer Mercury Tube is a component of a sphygmomanometer, which is a medical device used to measure blood pressure. It is part of the supply class Medical And Surgical Instruments, Equipment, And Supplies in the supply group Medical, Dental, And Veterinary Equipment And Supplies.
The mercury tube is a glass tube filled with mercury that is connected to the cuff and the pressure gauge of the sphygmomanometer. When the cuff is inflated, the mercury rises in the tube, indicating the pressure being exerted on the cuff. This allows healthcare professionals to accurately measure blood pressure readings.
It's important to note that mercury-based sphygmomanometers are being phased out due to environmental concerns associated with mercury. Nowadays, digital sphygmomanometers or aneroid sphygmomanometers are more commonly used.
