An apparatus is described for the surroundive fixation of extremities in which a double-walled cuff-forming cushion is used which can be deformed into a sleeve, which can be made vacuum-tight and which is provided with a evacuation valve. A plurality of loose particulate filling bodies is provided in the inner space of the cuff-forming cushion between the two walls and the cushion can be consolidated by evacuation into a stiff stable structure.
