Device for supporting and stabilizing an injured person or injured body part and method for producing the device

摘要

An injured person or an injured limb is supported and stabilized with a flexible film element enclosing an airtight inner region that can be evacuated. The film element is provided with two insertion bodies which respectively are formed with two air-permeable, flexible material strips. Each insertion body is divided into chambers containing loose particles, by way of intersecting seams formed between the material strips. The seams on both insertion bodies are staggered in relation to each other in both directions in such a way that the particles combine to form a substantially homogeneously thick particle layer.
