Abdominal binders provide support and compression to abdominal muscles weakened by strain. An abdominal strain is a mild injury and slight tear of the abdominal muscles resulting from trauma or overuse, pregnancy, inactivity or surgery. Abdominal binders can enhance patient compliance following open abdominal surgical procedures and help prevent secondary complications such as hernias. The controlled pressure of the abdominal binder supports the abdominal muscles without restricting breathing or muscle redevelopment.
Abdominal binders provide support for the following types of hernias:
Abdominal Hernia
Incisional Hernia
Hiatal Hernia
Epigastric or Ventral Hernia
Umbilical Hernia
