1. A blood pressure measurement device for attachment to a wrist, the blood pressure measurement device comprising:
a device main body that stores a pump and a pressure sensor;
a curler that curves to follow a circumferential direction of the wrist from a hand back side of the wrist to a region where at least one artery is present on a hand palm side of the wrist through a first lateral side of the wrist, the curler including a cover portion that fixes the device main body to the hand back side of the wrist, a long-hand side that extends from a first side of the device main body, and a short-hand side that extends from a second side of the device main body that is opposite to the first side, the curler having a curvature of an end portion of the short-hand side distant from the cover portion set smaller than a curvature of an end portion of the long-hand side distant from the cover portion, the end portion on the short-hand side being separated from the end portion on the long-hand side;
a sensing cuff provided on the long-hand side of the curler and on an inner circumferential surface on the hand palm side of the wrist, the sensing cuff being fluidly connected to the pump and the pressure sensor;
a tensile cuff that includes a plurality of bag-like structures provided on an inner circumferential surface on the hand back side of the wrist of the curler; and
a pressing cuff provided on an inner circumferential surface on the hand palm side of the wrist of the curler, the sensing cuff being provided on a wrist side of the pressing cuff, wherein
the end portion on the long-hand side is configured to extend along the first lateral side of the wrist, which is between the hand back side and the hand palm side, to the region where the at least one artery is present on the hand palm side of the wrist, and
the end portion on the short-hand side is configured to extend along a second lateral side of the wrist, which is between the hand back side and the hand palm side, opposite to the first lateral side.
