A single use disposable skin and cuff protector in the form of a wrap for surrounding at least a portion of a limb of a patient allows a sphygmomanometer cuff to be applied over the wrap. To prevent spreading of pathogens, the wrap includes a sheet having a non-porous barrier layer and optionally, an absorbent layer. The wrap is secured by a non-reusable fastener which cannot be released once fastened or once fastened, cannot be re-fastened. A line of weakening formed in the sheet facilitates removal of the wrap after use. Once secured to a patient for use, the sheet either must be severed to be removed and/or the re-usable fastener cannot be re-fastened thus preventing re-use.
