Abstract

The aid consists of an endless strip of air- and water-impermeable material, and has at least two inflatable chambers (1). A section (2) of the aid is not inflatable. At least one corner of the inflatable chamber is rounded off. The rounding off of the corners is carried out by rounding the connection seam (3) between the inner and outer strips. The radius of the rounding is between 2 cm and 5 cm.
