Abstract
A polyurethane coated nylon sheet is folded medially to form the pressure cuff. The urethane coated surface forms the inner surface of the inflation chamber of the cuff. A hook and loop fastener assembly for securing the cuff about the patient's limb is secured to the cuff. The hook and loop sheets are both provided with fusable polymer back coatings. The hook and loop sheets are fused to the polyurethane coated surfaces on the cuff. The hooks and loops are accessible on opposite sides of the cuff. An inflation fitting is also fused to the interior of the pressure chamber and projects through an opening in the cuff.
