New sphygmomanometer?

If a thermometer has a constriction that doesn't allow rapid fall of mercury after attaining the high temperature, can we similarly make a sphygmomanometer with a constriction such that the rate of fall in BP is always 2 mm/sec, neither more nor less?

Simple thing but will standardize the method of taking blood pressure further since the speed of lowering varies from doctor to doctor and instrument to instrument.
