Blood Pressure Cuff Replacement Inflation Bulb Medium Latex-Free Neoprene

Blood Pressure Cuff Replacement Inflation Bulb – Medium | Latex-Free Neoprene | SKU 5086-01

A safe, latex-free replacement for worn or damaged blood pressure cuff inflation bulbs. This medium-size replacement inflation bulb is made from latex-free neoprene — making it a safe choice for patients and clinicians with latex sensitivities. Designed to replace the inflation bulb on standard blood pressure cuffs when the original bulb cracks, loses its seal, or becomes difficult to squeeze. Verify compatibility with your specific BP cuff model before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this bulb is compatible with my blood pressure cuff?
Inflation bulbs connect to the BP cuff tubing via a threaded or push-fit valve connector. Compatibility depends on the connector type and thread size of your specific cuff model. Before ordering, check your cuff’s existing bulb or manufacturer documentation for the connector specification. If you are unsure, contact us with your BP cuff brand and model number and we can help confirm compatibility. Using an incompatible bulb can result in air leaks that affect measurement accuracy.

Why is latex-free important for a blood pressure cuff bulb?
Latex allergies range from mild skin irritation to severe anaphylactic reactions. In clinical settings, latex-free equipment is standard practice to protect both patients and healthcare workers with known or unknown latex sensitivities. For home use, individuals with latex allergies should ensure all components of their BP cuff — including the bulb, tubing, and cuff bladder — are latex-free. This neoprene bulb eliminates latex from the inflation component, but confirm that the rest of your cuff assembly is also latex-free if you have a latex allergy.

When should I replace my inflation bulb?
Replace the inflation bulb when it shows visible cracking or deterioration, when it no longer holds air between pumps (indicating a valve or seal failure), when it becomes stiff or difficult to squeeze, or when the check valve no longer releases air smoothly after measurement. A faulty inflation bulb can cause inaccurate blood pressure readings by failing to maintain consistent pressure during measurement. If the bulb is intact but the cuff is reading inaccurately, the issue may be with the gauge or cuff bladder rather than the bulb.

Can I replace just the bulb, or do I need to replace the entire cuff?
In most cases, if the cuff bladder, tubing, and gauge are intact and functioning correctly, replacing just the inflation bulb is a cost-effective way to restore full function to the cuff. This is particularly practical for clinical-grade cuffs where the cuff itself is expensive and the bulb is the only worn component. If the cuff bladder has holes, the tubing is cracked, or the gauge is reading inaccurately, a full cuff replacement may be more appropriate. Inspect all components before ordering a replacement bulb to confirm the rest of the assembly is in good condition.
