A blood pressure cuff, the cuff comprising: a first sheet having an opening; a second sheet, wherein the second sheet is attached to a bottom of the first sheet; an interior-inflatable portion formed between the bottom of the first sheet and a top of the second sheet, wherein the opening of the first sheet fluidly interconnects the interior-inflatable portion with an exterior of the cuff, the first and second sheets being made from a fluid impermeable material; a socket attached to said cuff through said opening and having a circumferential lip that directly and releasably engages one of a hose adapter and a gage housing, said socket fluidly interconnecting the exterior of said cuff with said interior-inflatable portion; a slotted portion formed in a longitudinally extending section of said first sheet spaced apart from the interior-inflatable portion; and fastener material disposed on the cuff proximate an end of the longitudinally extending section wherein the cuff is configured to wrap around a limb of a patient during blood pressure measurement such that the fastener material adheres to a top surface of the first sheet and the slotted portion receives the socket and wherein the length of slotted portion and positioning of the socket on the cuff are selected to limit the circumference of the cuff in the configuration during blood pressure measurement when the socket is received in the portion.
