    WARNING: The cuff should not be applied over a wound as this can cause further injury. SunTech recommends that the cuff be placed on a front limb while the patient is lying on the right or left side. This helps ensure that the cuff is at heart level, which is best for measurement accuracy. Also, the patient is less likely to retract the front limb when the cuff gently squeezes it during the measurement.
