A close-fitting suit made up of inflatable air chambers arranged following the natural muscles of the body.

The exoskeletal function is performed by these air chambers which give the device a modular rigidity once inflated (the material used gives more or less rigidity).

​

The air chambers are arranged to cover the minimum surface of the body necessary to obtain the required rigidity and to leave the parts of the body not involved uncovered. This design enables a rapid outflow of the surrounding fluid, air or water, depending on the field of application.

The pressure inside the chamber is regulated through a controller within easy reach, consisting of either a manual pump or an automatic mechanism, namely a compressed air canister for inflating and a valve for deflating. 

Finally, the suit is fastened to the body through high-strength Velcro bands, making the device easily wearable and removable even while seated.

 

The function of the inflatable exoskeletal device is to provide support and rigidity to individuals in case physical conditions or technical circumstances require it.
