ABSTRACT:
A medical pad to support in as compression-free a manner as possible limbs and extremities and developed beyond the state of the art--wherein small nubs of the same material as the pad are present in mutually symmetrical rows, and, when the limbs and extremities to be supported come to rest on them will be deformed by them--is improved to avert the drawbacks of the known design. For that purpose, the invention provides support elements (replacing the hubs) which are configured in such manner that with maximal surface elasticity and thereby least loading of the limbs and extremities to be supported, the pad shall exert only slight compression on the said limbs and extremities.
