ABSTRACT:
In the pressure cuff of the present invention, an end portion of a cuff comprises a pair of separable first and second tail sections, each having a coupling mechanism, such as sections of hook and loop type fastening material formed thereon. A complementary coupling mechanism is formed on the bladder section. When the cuff is wrapped about an arm having a nonuniform circumference, then the tail sections can be coupled at different lengths to the bladder section of the cuff, so that the bladder section, when inflated, supplies relatively even pressure across a substantial length of the brachial artery.
