The seal-forming portion further including a saddle-shaped inferior region that is intersected by the sagittal plane and includes an inferior tangent point. A first support region is located on one side of the sagittal plane between the inferior region and the superior region, the exterior surface of the elastomeric seal forming portion at the first support region being cylinder-shaped and/or saddle-shaped. In addition, a blowout prevention system is configured to counter a force acting on the unsupported edge of the elastomeric seal-forming portion due to a pressure within the chamber, the blowout prevention system being attached to the elastomeric seal-forming portion at the first support region of the elastomeric seal-forming portion.
