(Sphygmanometer nach Riva-Rocci.)
Description: This is much like the modern device used to measure
arterial blood pressure. There is a mercury manometer and a silk-
covered rubber sleeve which can be tied around the upper arm,
closed with a steel clamp, and filled with air by a rubber
squeeze bag. (Expanded caption Copyright 1998, Edward J.
