Claim:
A non-inflatable device for holding an inflatable pressure cuff in an about stationary position on a limb of a person, the device comprising: an elongate member having first and second sides with a width (w) therebetween, first and second opposing ends with a length therebetween, a first section extending for a length (l 1 ) from the first end, a third section extending for a length (l 3 ) from the second end and a second section therebetween having a length (l 2 ), and the width (w) being wider at the second end than at the first end; the first side of the elongate member bearing a first adhesive element at or near the first end and extending from the first section onto at least a part of the second section, and the second side of the elongate member bearing a second adhesive element at or near the second end; the length (l 2 ) of the second section being at least a width of the inflatable pressure cuff, and the length (l 3 ) of the third section being greater than the sum of the lengths (l 1 +l 2 ) of the first section and the second section and sufficient to allow the third section to be folded over a pressure cuff situated on said second section when said pressure cuff is inflated and to position the second end beyond the first end of the elongate member, and the width (w) of the elongate member being less than a circumference of the limb.
