Abstract: A tourniquet cuff for placement on a limb, having an inflatable body which encloses an inflatable chamber and which can be inflated with a compressed gas so as to create blood flow restriction in the limb, with the inflatable body being formed from an elongated support made of a bendable support material extending along a longitudinal direction and from a stretchable wall made of a stretchable material attached to the support. To enable thorough and easy cleaning and sterilization of the tourniquet cuff and easy placement on a limb and to ensure the most uniform possible distribution of the pressure exerted by the tourniquet cuff on the limb, the stretchable wall is affixed to the elongated support while the stretchable material is stretched at least in the longitudinal direction. A method of manufacturing the tourniquet cuff is also disclosed.
