A cuff shield for a pressure cuff comprises a liquid impervious layer and an absorbent layer. The liquid impervious layer includes an outer surface and an inner surface. The outer surface of the liquid impervious layer has an adhesive portion for removably securing the cuff shield to the pressure cuff. The absorbent layer is secured to the liquid impervious layer and includes an outer surface, an inner surface, and a release strip on the outer surface of the absorbent layer. The release strip on the absorbent layer is configured to serve as a protective cover for an adhesive portion on a second cuff shield. This design of the release strip enables delivering the cuff shields on a roll
