Enhanced and Translated Description
The Krayt B-445 Umbilical Hernia Support Belt (25cm height) is a high-quality medical device manufactured by the renowned Russian company Krayt, adhering to modern medical standards. Its primary function is to provide localized, firm yet gentle pressure on the hernia area. This belt ensures reliable support for the anterior and lateral abdominal wall, as well as the lumbar region. It’s clinically proven to improve overall well-being, reducing pain and providing superior support.
The main body of the belt is a perforated elastic band. A soft, skin-friendly inner panel is positioned over the abdomen. A removable semi-rigid applicator and an additional tightening strap provide customized compression. The meticulously designed belt features an ergonomic 25cm height and comfortable fit. A wide size range is available, from size 3 (60-80cm waist) to size 6 (120-140cm waist).
This model is crafted from eco-friendly and hypoallergenic materials: 53.1% polyester, 24.5% cotton, 18.4% elastane, and 4% polyethylene foam. This breathable fabric allows for natural moisture and salt exchange. The universal beige color ensures discretion under clothing. The belt conforms to the body comfortably, remaining virtually invisible under clothing. It offers maximum comfort and unrestricted movement, making it suitable for everyday wear.
Indications for Use
The Krayt B-445 hernia support belt is recommended for various types of abdominal hernias, including:
- Post-surgical hernias
- Parastomal hernias (in rare cases)
- Umbilical and periumbilical hernias
- Abdominal hernias
- Hernias of the linea alba
- Other abdominal hernia pathologies
Beyond hernia support, this belt effectively addresses several medical needs:
- Significantly eases discomfort, particularly during post-surgical recovery (reducing the risk of recurrence and complications).
- Provides reliable support to minimize the risk of surgical wound dehiscence, accelerating scar tissue formation and protecting against accidental trauma.
- Prevents complications associated with ventral hernias.
- Improves muscle tone.
- Indicated for diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation).
- May be recommended during pregnancy when surgery is not feasible (only with prior medical approval).
- Actively used for preventative purposes: individuals with a genetic predisposition to hernias, those engaging in strenuous physical activity or sports.
- Recommended for individuals with thinning or stretching of the abdominal wall (e.g., post-pregnancy), and abdominal trauma.
Contraindications
Like all medical devices, the Krayt B-445 umbilical hernia belt has limitations. Its use is contraindicated in cases of inflammation, irreducible or incarcerated hernias, individual material intolerance, or skin irritations or dermatitis in the area where the belt will be worn.
Choosing the Right Size
Consult your physician to determine the appropriate belt size and wearing duration based on your specific condition and hernia type. Our experienced customer service representatives are also available to assist you in selecting the ideal size and addressing any questions you may have.
How to Wear and Care for the Belt
For optimal comfort and to avoid complications, wear the belt while fully relaxed. Lie on your back, gently reduce the hernia, position the applicator over the hernia sac, wrap the belt around your body, and secure it with the hook-and-loop closure. Adjust the tightness using the additional strap, ensuring it’s not overly constricting to maintain therapeutic efficacy.
