ABSTRACT:
A protective cover (16) for covering a blood-pressure cuff (10) comprises a flexible sheet defining an elongated bottom band (24), an elongated top band (30), and an intermediate portion (38) interconnecting the bottom and top bands. The bottom and top bands have widths which are substantially greater than a width of the blood-pressure cuff. A length of the bottom band is greater than a distance about an appendage (14) about which the blood-pressure cuff is to be wrapped and a length of the top band is greater than a distance about an outer surface of the blood-pressure cuff when it is wrapped about the appendage. The sheet is two-ply, having an exterior layer (18) of soft absorbent material and an interior layer (20) of more liquid impervious material. The bottom band is wrapped about the appendage, the blood-pressure cuff is wrapped about the bottom portion, and the top band is pivoted relative to the bottom band at the intermediate portion over the blood-pressure cuff and wrapped thereabout.
