Blood Pressure Cuffs and Support Products

This framework starts on 29 November 2021, runs for 48 months and ends on 28 November 2025. This includes a 24 month extension.

The framework covers all Blood Pressure Cuffs and Support Products used within NHS trusts. It consolidates all cuff products previously supplied under the Patient Assessment Devices framework, onto a single framework agreement and provides a variety of new brands to compliment Capital equipment.

What are Blood Pressure Cuffs used for?

• An instrument for measuring blood pressure in the arteries, consisting of a pressure gauge and a nylon or rubber cuff that wraps around the upper arm or thigh and inflates to constrict the arteries.
• Blood pressure cuffs are used to measure diastolic and systolic blood pressure readings from the blood pressure monitor.
• Blood pressure measurements are obtained for a wide variety of reasons, including screening for hypertension, estimating cardiovascular risk and determining risk for various medical procedures.

Savings opportunities
The framework provides a number of National Pricing Matrices (NPMs) from new and existing suppliers.
