Umbilical Hernia Belt Krayt B-440 (20 cm) #4 (Waist Circumference 80-100 cm) | Abdominal Wall Hernia Support

Description

The Krayt B-440 umbilical hernia belt (20 cm) provides gentle support and compression for individuals suffering from umbilical hernias. The umbilical ring, lacking muscle and fat, is a common site for hernias, often resulting from postpartum weakening or other abdominal wall issues. A hernia occurs when a loop of intestine, omentum, or other organs protrude through this weakened area.

When to Seek Medical Attention

Consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. While surgery is often recommended, a hernia belt may be prescribed in certain situations, such as:

• Post-surgery recovery: Following umbilical hernia repair (herniotomy), a support belt aids healing and reduces the risk of recurrence.
• Non-surgical cases: When surgery isn’t feasible, a belt helps prevent hernia incarceration (strangulation).
• Diastasis recti: Separation of abdominal muscles.
• Other abdominal wall hernias: The belt can provide support for various types of abdominal hernias.
• Abdominal trauma: In cases of injury to the anterior abdominal wall.
• Postpartum support: The belt can help women after childbirth, particularly those experiencing abdominal muscle weakness or hernia development.
• Pregnancy-related hernias: Some pregnant women experience umbilical protrusion.

Delayed treatment can lead to serious complications, including irreducible hernias and potential tissue necrosis.

Benefits of the Krayt B-440 Hernia Belt

• Pain reduction: Gentle compression minimizes discomfort by preventing pinching of tissues within the hernia sac.
• Improved muscle tone: Consistent use helps improve abdominal muscle tone. While it won’t fully restore the navel to its natural position, it prevents further deterioration.
• Ergonomic design: The 20 cm wide belt is made from a breathable, perforated elastic fabric with latex for support. The inner lining of 100% cotton ensures comfort and breathability, and reduces the risk of skin irritation.
• Customizable compression: An adjustable anatomical semi-rigid pad (pelot) provides targeted pressure to the umbilical area, gently supporting the hernia without causing further discomfort.
• Discreet and comfortable: The belt is lightweight, comfortable, and designed to be worn discreetly under clothing. It allows for a full range of motion.
• Effective support: The Krayt B-440 is effective for both managing existing hernias and for preventative use. It’s suitable for use from early stages of hernia development through post-operative recovery.

Sizes

Available in four sizes to fit waist circumferences from 60 to 140 cm.

Contraindications

• Irreducible or incarcerated hernias: In these cases, the pad may worsen the condition.
• Material allergies: Avoid use if allergic to any component of the belt (polypropylene, latex, polyester, or cotton).
• Skin conditions: Do not use if you have rashes, infections, or other skin problems in the area where the belt will be worn.
• Other medical contraindications: Consult your physician.

Proper Use and Care

• Sizing: The belt height should correspond to the hernia’s diameter. The pad should be larger than the hernia to avoid constriction. Multiple pads may be needed for multiple hernias. Improper fitting will worsen the condition. Consult your physician before purchasing.
• Application: Apply the belt in the morning while lying down and with the hernia reduced.
• Cleaning: Hand wash gently without harsh chemicals, or machine wash on a delicate cycle with minimal spin.
