SKANEATELES FALLS — Medical-device manufacturer Welch Allyn has announced the launch of its new EcoCuff, single-patient use, blood-pressure cuff.
The EcoCuff is designed to remain with one patient for the duration of the hospital stay. The facility would then dispose of the EcoCuff upon the patient’s discharge.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the use of such patient-dedicated products to help reduce cross contamination, Skaneateles Falls–based Welch Allyn said in a news release.

Welch Allyn said it will formally unveil EcoCuff at a pair of industry events in Boston in April and May.
