So, I need to find a blood pressure monitor, that has a cuff that will cover a bicep measurement of 19". So far, all the ones I've found are too damn small. Any ideas?

Ahem...

You need to introduce me to the bicep, is what you need to do. :)

Yes, we've been saying that for a while now :). Rest assured, you'll meet Bug's daddy soon :).

Heh! Thought that might be the case, but was way too good to pass up. ;)

Use the wrist monitor, they are easier and quicker to use on yourself. It's what I use now. about $50

Or use the arm cuff on the wrist (Inside left is best)...

I have one at the office that has "Bug" "human" and "J" sized cuffs which interchange with the same bulb/gauge. I can see what It would cost to order one -- on the 'outside' it's probably at least a couple of bills.

alternate to a wrist monitor is to get a regular arm setup + an extra large cuff, possibly a leg cuff. They sell the cuffs separately.

Yes, they do sell the cuffs separately. And if you know *where* one might find a cuff large enough to fit a 19" bicep, that would be the information I was asking for :). All the cuffs I've been able to find will fit up to 17.5".
