Krayt B-440 Umbilical Hernia Belt (20cm, 100-120cm Waist)

Umbilical Hernia Support Belt Krait B-440 (20 cm) Size 5 (Waist 100-120 cm)

Description

The umbilical ring is the weakest point in the lower abdominal wall, lacking muscle and fat, often only scar tissue remains after childbirth. Weakening can lead to a hernia, where a loop of intestine, omentum, or other organs protrude. A qualified physician should be consulted for diagnosis and treatment; surgery is often recommended if there are no contraindications. Post-surgery (following herniotomy), proper rehabilitation is crucial, including the mandatory use of an umbilical hernia support belt to ensure successful healing and prevent recurrence. Even when surgery isn't an option, a support belt helps prevent strangulation.

Indications

• Abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti)
• Various abdominal wall hernias
• Anterior abdominal injuries
• Postpartum support (abdominal distension and potential hernia development)
• Pregnancy-related umbilical protrusion

Delayed use of a support belt can lead to complications, including irreducible hernias and potential tissue necrosis.

Benefits

• Daily use reduces pain by avoiding compression of tissues within the hernia sac.
• Improves abdominal muscle tone with consistent wear. While it won't fully restore the umbilicus to its natural position, it prevents worsening.
• Ergonomic design: a 20cm wide belt made of perforated elastic latex-based fabric.
• Breathable inner lining of natural cotton prevents irritation and offers anti-static properties.
• An internal, anatomically shaped semi-rigid support pad (pelot) gently compresses the umbilicus, encouraging it to return to its natural position without forcing it back.
• Available in 4 sizes (waist circumference 60-140 cm).
• Discreet under clothing, comfortable, and unrestrictive, ensuring all-day wearability.
• Proven effective for both hernia support and prevention, suitable from early stages through to post-operative recovery.

Contraindications

• Irreducible and strangulated hernias (the support pad can worsen the condition).
• Material allergies.
• Skin rashes, viral or fungal infections in the application area.
• Other contraindications identified during medical examination.

Proper Use and Care

The belt height depends on the hernia diameter; the support pad should be larger than the hernia to avoid strangulation. Multiple pads might be needed for multiple hernias. Incorrect use can worsen the condition; consult your physician before use. Apply in the morning after waking, while the body is relaxed and the hernia is reduced. Hand wash gently without harsh chemicals or wringing, or machine wash on a delicate cycle with minimal spin.
