Hernia belts and products

It is important for a hernia belt to be snug enough to adequately support the hernia area. However, the support must not pinch, squeeze, chafe, or be too loose. Choosing the right support is also determined by the location and size of the hernia.

A hernia belt is used when in an upright position. It is not necessarily needed while in bed, as the hernia rarely protrudes when lying in a supine position.

First, you must know where the hernia is located on your body. Is it, for example, an umbilical hernia, an abdominal hernia, or an inguinal hernia? Additionally, you need to know if the hernia is on the right side, left side, or both sides of the body. After this, it is easier to choose a suitable model. Different categories of hernia belts can be found here.

The right kind of hernia belt or abdominal hernia binder is chosen based on the location and size of the hernia. In our online store, you will find comprehensive descriptions of the features and intended uses of our hernia supports. You can also get help from our customer service in choosing the right hernia support if needed.

Products can be compared based on manufacturing materials, as well as donning and fastening methods.

In our online store, every product page has a "size chart" heading. Using the size chart, you can easily choose the right size for yourself.

A hernia belt supports the hernia area and gently pushes the hernia back inward through the hernia defect. The aim of a hernia belt is to relieve potential pain and enable a better quality of life. Therefore, we can confidently state that yes, a hernia belt helps!

It is usually not necessary to wear a hernia belt at night, because when lying down, there is no pressure on the hernia area that would lead to protrusion. Therefore, a hernia belt is typically used only when in an upright position.

You can also use a hernia belt during sports, such as running, golf, soccer, volleyball, basketball, or orienteering. In this case, you just need to make sure that the belt does not chafe the skin during physical activity and sweating.

Yes, you can. Whether your job involves sitting or standing, a hernia belt is a support suitable for every situation. When in an upright position, it often happens that the hernia protrudes, which can cause severe pain and otherwise hinder the performance of work tasks during the workday. Therefore, a hernia belt is an important companion for your workdays as well!

Both a hernia belt and hernia briefs utilize a compression pad or pelotte (two pads in a bilateral hernia product), which supports the hernia area and prevents the hernia from protruding. As the names suggest, a hernia belt is a belt-like model, while hernia briefs are a pant-like model. Hernia briefs are primarily intended for the treatment of inguinal hernias. The briefs can be worn as underwear or they can also be worn over regular underwear. In addition to inguinal hernia belts, there are also hernia belts for the treatment of umbilical hernias. It is not recommended to wear a hernia belt directly against the skin to avoid causing skin abrasions. An abdominal hernia binder is a wider support, generally used for the treatment of larger umbilical hernias or abdominal hernias located in the abdominal area.
