The term appears in the following sentence: "Immobilizzavamo tramite ferula a depressione la gamba dolorante". The context is that the patient has fractured their tibia and fibia in an accident and this is an item of equipment used by the rescue services to immobilise the leg prior to evacuating the patient.
I have been able to find the following reference to the equipment being applied to the injured leg: http://www.gianfrancogozzi.it/traumi-da-sci/immobilizzazione...

vacuum splint
"The vacuum splint has been shown to be a simple, safe and effective method of emergency splinting of fractured extremities. The splint is simply constructed from clear vinyl sheeting and contains 2-mm. expanded polystyrene balls. Evacuation of air causes the splint to become rigid, thereby providing stability and immobilization of the limb."
