M-Tono medical mechanical tonometer (sphygmomanometer) MS-50 with stethoscope MegaPharma

A mechanical tonometer is a medical device used to measure a person’s blood pressure. It usually includes a cuff, a manometer (a measuring device), and a stethoscope. The measurement procedure begins with wrapping the cuff around the upper arm, after which the health care professional uses a special pump to inflate the cuff, creating pressure in the arteries.

A manometer is then used to monitor the pressure level, which is usually expressed as two numbers: an upper number (systolic), which reflects the maximum pressure in the arteries during heartbeats, and a lower number (diastolic), which represents the minimum pressure between heartbeats.

During the measurement process, a medical professional uses a stethoscope to listen to the pulse in the artery under the cuff, which helps to determine the pressure more accurately. Mechanical tonometers are widely used in medical institutions due to their reliability and accuracy in measuring blood pressure.
