Umbilical Hernia Belt (Abdominal Wall Support) – Ecoten GP-25 (25cm Height, Waist 83-100cm) for Adults
The navel (umbilical area) is the weakest point in the lower abdominal wall, lacking muscle and fat, often just post-partum scar tissue. Weakening can lead to a hernia, a protrusion of intestinal loops, omentum, or other organs. Consult a qualified physician for diagnosis and treatment. Surgery is often recommended, if there are no contraindications. Post-surgery (following herniotomy), proper rehabilitation is crucial, often including the mandatory use of an umbilical hernia support belt to ensure successful healing and prevent recurrence. If surgery isn’t feasible, a support belt helps prevent strangulation.
Indications:
- Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
- Various abdominal wall hernias
- Anterior abdominal trauma
- Postpartum recovery (abdominal distension and potential hernia formation)
- Pregnancy-related umbilical protrusion
Benefits of the Ecoten GP-25 Hernia Belt:
- Daily use reduces pain by preventing compression of organs within the hernia sac.
- Improves abdominal muscle tone, though it won’t fully restore the navel’s position. It prevents further deterioration.
- Ergonomic design: 25cm high belt made from perforated elastic fabric (including elastane) with built-in anti-twisting plastic inserts and an external tightening strap for adjustable compression.
- An anatomically shaped, semi-rigid pad (pelot) attaches via Velcro to the inner surface, gently applying pressure to the navel to help maintain its natural position and prevent protrusion.
- Available in 4 sizes to accommodate waist circumferences from 83 to 140cm.
- Discreet under clothing, comfortable, and allows for unrestricted movement.
- Proven effective for both hernia fixation and prevention, suitable from early stages to post-surgical recovery.
Contraindications:
- Irreducible and strangulated hernias (the pad may worsen the condition).
- Allergic reactions to the materials.
- Skin rashes, viral or fungal infections in the application area.
- Other contraindications identified during a medical examination.
Proper Use and Care:
The height of the belt should match the hernia’s diameter. The pad should be larger than the hernia to avoid strangulation. Multiple pads may be necessary for multiple hernias. Incorrect use can worsen the condition. Consult your physician before purchase and use.
Put on the belt in the morning after waking, while the body is relaxed and the hernia is reduced.
Care: Gentle hand washing without harsh chemicals and harsh wringing, or machine wash on a delicate cycle with minimal spin.
Important Note:
Improperly fitted or used hernia belts can exacerbate the condition. Always consult your doctor before using this product.
