The cuff includes an elongated, flexible band having a body side face and an outward face and a compartment. It further includes an inflatable bladder having a portion adapted to protrude through one of two openings in the band when the bladder is on either the left or right arm. The two openings are located opposite one another on opposite lengthwise edges of the band. First and second indicia placed adjacent the openings on the outward face of the band identify the position of the protruding portion for use on either the left or right arm.
