An overlapping occlusive cuff (2) for improved appli- cation of pressure to the limb (48), comprising: an inflatable bladder (4, 6); a sheath (11) for containing the inflatable bladder (4, 6) wherein the sheath (11) has a length sufficient to encircle the limb (48) and overlap on itself in a substan- tially circumferential direction around the limb (48); sheath securing means (30) for securing the overlapped sheath (11) around the limb (48); and stiffening means for superimpos- ing over a region of the overlapped and secured sheath (11) to constrain the shape of the sheath (11) beneath the region when the bladder (4, 6) is inflated. The stiffening means in- cludes securing means (32) for securing the overlapping- sheath (11) in a substantially circumferential direction around the limb (48) independently of the sheath securing means (30) such that the sheath (11) remains overlapped and secured in a substantially circumferential direction if the sheath securing means (30) is not engaged or becomes inef- fective while the bladder (4, 6) is inflated.
