Crate B-440 Umbilical Hernia Support Belt (20cm, Size 6, 120-140cm Waist)
English Description
The umbilical ring, lacking muscle and fat, is the weakest point in the lower abdominal wall, often leaving it vulnerable after childbirth. Weakening can lead to a hernia, where intestinal loops, omentum, or other organs protrude. While surgery is often recommended by a qualified physician, post-operative recovery requires careful management. An umbilical hernia support belt, like the Crate B-440, plays a crucial role in successful healing and preventing recurrence. Even when surgery isn’t an option, a support belt helps prevent strangulation.
Indications for Use
- Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
- Various abdominal hernias
- Anterior abdominal wall trauma
- Postpartum recovery (abdominal distension increases hernia risk)
- Pregnancy (protrusion may occur during pregnancy)
Delaying the use of a support belt can lead to serious complications, including irreducible hernias and potential organ necrosis.
Benefits of the Crate B-440 Umbilical Hernia Support Belt
- Pain Reduction: Reduces pain by preventing compression of organs within the hernia sac.
- Improved Muscle Tone: Enhances abdominal muscle tone with consistent use. While it won’t fully restore the navel to its original position, it prevents further deterioration.
- Ergonomic Design: Features a 20cm wide, perforated elastic band (latex-based) for breathability and comfort.
- Hypoallergenic Material: The inner lining is made of natural cotton, promoting breathability and preventing skin irritation. It also possesses anti-static properties.
- Adjustable Support: An internal, removable semi-rigid pad (pelot) applies targeted pressure to the navel, gently repositioning it without causing backward protrusion. The pad is secured with hook and loop fasteners.
- Discreet Design: Comfortable and virtually invisible under clothing.
- Versatile Use: Effective for both hernia management and prevention, suitable from early stages to post-operative recovery.
Contraindications
- Irreducible and strangulated hernias (using the support belt in these cases can worsen the condition).
- Allergy to product 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 correspond to the hernia diameter; the pad should be larger than the hernia to avoid strangulation. Multiple pads might be necessary for multiple hernias. Improper use can worsen the condition, so consult your physician before use.
The belt should be applied in the morning, while the body is relaxed, and the hernia is reduced. Hand wash gently without harsh chemicals or wringing. Machine washing is possible on a delicate cycle with minimal spinning.
