ABSTRACT:
An overlapping occlusive cuff for improved application of pressure to the limb, comprising: an inflatable bladder; a sheath for containing the inflatable bladder wherein the sheath has a length sufficient to encircle the limb and overlap on itself in a substantially circumferential direction around the limb; sheath securing means for securing the overlapped sheath around the limb; and stiffening means for superimposing over a region of the overlapped and secured sheath to constrain the shape of the sheath beneath the region when the bladder is inflated. The stiffening means includes securing means for securing the overlapping sheath in a substantially circumferential direction around the limb independently of the sheath securing means such that the sheath remains overlapped and secured in a substantially circumferential direction if the sheath securing means is not engaged or becomes ineffective while the bladder is inflated.
