A flexible blood pressure cuff for use in measuring the blood pressure of a patient, includes an inflatable bladder having a first side and a second side. One of the bladder sides is provided with hook and loop fasteners for adjustably and removably retaining at least a portion of one of the two bladder sides against a remaining portion of the one bladder side when the bladder is folded over itself. The effective inflatable width of the bladder is thereby adjusted to accommodate the circumference of the limb of the patient so that accurate blood pressure measurements may be obtained for each patient. According to the method, the blood pressure cuff is folded over itself to produce a cuff having an effective inflatable width which is adjusted according to the circumference of the limb of the patient whose blood pressure is to be measured.
