1. A multiple cuff blood pressure system for measuring the blood pressure of different patients comprising:
- a fluid pressure source;
at least three differently-sized inflatable cuffs from the group consisting of an infant cuff, a pediatric cuff, an adult cuff, a large adult cuff and a thigh cuff, each cuff being connected to said pressure source;
means connected between said pressure source and said inflatable cuffs for directing fluid flow to a selected one of said inflatable cuffs; and
means connected to said fluid pressure source for measuring fluid pressure in said selected inflatable cuff.

Abstract
A multiple blood pressure cuff system comprises a plurality of inflatable cuffs of a range of widths and lengths which collectively share a common pressure source and a common pressure measuring device. A manifold pneumatically connects each cuff to the common pressure source and pressure measuring device and stopcock valves allow airflow to be directed to only the particular cuff in use. A mounting board is provided for affixing the system to a wall or cabinet and for conveniently supporting and displaying the cuffs that are not in use.
