A new and simple method is presented that is suitable for the fabrication of inflatable cuffs for any gross vascular size. The method lends itself to mass production which is particularly useful for the fabrication of small cuffs. The procedure generally consists of spraying latex on a rotating cylinder in two separable layers. An activating tube is inserted between the layers and the edges sealed. Outward expansion is prevented by means of a suitable backing material.
