Sealing edges (6) are produced by wrapping the outer skin (1) over the distancing layer (2). A vacuum tube (4) can be connected to a connection piece (3). A portable vacuum pump (5) produces a medically and advantageously indexed negative differential pressure in relation to atmospheric pressure, which extends into the entire article of clothing as a result of the distancing layer (2). The vacuum pump (5) is fastened to a strip (7) which can be worn on the shoulders or in an otherwise appropriate position.
