The cuff is of the type which includes an inflatable member for wrapping about a body part, such that the inflatable member is secured to the body part, and at least one tube is provided to facilitate inflation of the inflatable member, with the inflatable member having a length dimension, and a width dimension. The inflatable member is formed in a substantially arcuate shape, with the radius of the arc passing along the width dimension. In the preferred embodiment, the inflatable member includes a bladder and a polyester reinforced backing, both of which have the arcuate shape. The invention also provides a set of tourniquet cuffs having the arcuate shape and in which the cuffs of the set nest one within the other. In the preferred embodiment, the inside radius of one cuff is equal to the outside radius of the next smaller size cuff.
