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.
Delaying the use of a support belt can lead to serious complications, including irreducible hernias and potential organ necrosis.
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.
