Tech/Engineering - Safety
German term or phrase: Trittschlange
The text is about safety harnesses and the use thereof when working at heights.

The full sentence reads:

"Während des Hängens im Gurt bewegen bzw. Hilfsmittel zur Entlastung, z.B. Trittschlangen, verwenden."

Sadly Google doesn't help me with this one at all. Does anyone have any ideas?

Explanation:

Use this special strap as a foot sling to keep the blood circulation flowing after a fall and prevent suspension trauma from setting in. This foot sling is rolled up tightly and simply attached to the front of your safety harness so that you can easily reach it.
