The device is prescribed for patients suffering from the disease, as well as those whose work is associated with high risks of developing the disease.

Indications for wearing an orthopedic belt:

• prevention of the development of disease or complications;
• the period after carrying out operational actions - rehabilitation;
• directly the disease itself - for the restoration and splicing of the umbilical ring.

Conditions and diseases in which it is recommended to wear a medical device:

• the period of bearing a child, in particular multiple pregnancies;
• diseases of the spine - the development of osteochondrosis;
• activities associated with a long stay in a standing position;
• weakness or underdevelopment of the muscles of the abdominal wall;
• phlebeurysm.

The bandage can also be used by people with overweight problems (obesity), since overweight can cause the development of a pathological process. In this case, special types of preventive corrective belts are used.

Contraindications

A bandage for an umbilical hernia for women is contraindicated for wearing in the presence of diabetes mellitus, severe forms of obesity, in old age, as well as in severe heart disease and cardiovascular systems.

Additional contraindications:

• injuries and injuries in the abdomen - cuts, open wound surfaces, burns;

• severe functional disorders in the area of ​​the kidneys or liver;
• the presence of skin diseases in the area of ​​wearing the bandage;

• the presence of neoplasms of various forms - benign or malignant;
• in case of suspicion of infringement of the loops in the intestinal region.

Bandage functions

The fixation product exerts local pressure on the problem area, which leads to further protrusion of the hernia and, as a result, prevents the development of the disease. In this case, the pressure is evenly distributed over the entire area of ​​the abdominal wall, which prevents the development of complications, including preventing the development of infringements.

The systematic use of an orthopedic product has a tonic effect on the abdominal muscles. This prevents the hernial sac from leaving the area of ​​the abdominal wall.

With excess body weight, the muscles of the peritoneum gradually weaken. In the absence of any therapeutic action, the process can provoke the development of the disease. Wearing a fixation device allows you to avoid the progression of the disease and significantly reduces the risk of complications.

When a hernia occurs in childhood, the treatment belt is the only method of therapy. In this case, surgical intervention is carried out in extreme cases. The orthopedic device not only prevents the development of protrusion, but also has a stimulating (supporting) effect aimed at strengthening the abdominal muscles.

When carrying a child, there are high risks of developing pathology. In this connection, during this period of time, special bandages with a high fit are assigned. This allows you to maintain the muscles of the abdominal wall and prevents the development of complications.

Types of fixing products, their properties and advantages

The bandage for an umbilical hernia (female) is divided into several main types, the use of which depends on the severity of the pathological process and the area of ​​application. Each orthopedic product has its own purpose and application, therefore it should be used only after consultation with a specialist.

Preventive

The preventive product looks like a compacted wide belt. Such a bandage is made of a denser front wall. The device is used as a prevention of the development of the disease, as well as during the period of bearing a child to prevent the development of pathology.

This type of product is recommended for athletes and people whose activities are associated with high physical activity.

Therapeutic

Unlike a preventive device, this type of medical belt is narrower, has a dense structure and is equipped with rigid elements.

The kit also includes additional accessories in the form of a special pillow installed in the navel area.

The fixation belt has additional functions that allow you to support the spine and improve the tone of the muscles of the abdominal wall.

In this case, the size of the pillow is selected individually by the treating specialist, based on the size of the hernial formation.

Abdominal

This fixation device is used to be worn on the stomach and takes some of the load. This type of bandage is prescribed in the postpartum time, in the period after surgery, as well as in the presence of a hernia of small size. An orthopedic belt of this type prevents the re-development of hernias, accelerates the healing process and prevents the divergence of the surgical sutures.

The product itself is made of lightweight material, around the circumference of which there are small rigid (fixing) inserts. This combination makes it comfortable to put on and easy to wear.

Selection criteria for adults, children

A bandage for the treatment of an umbilical hernia must be selected only after prior consultation with the attending specialist, so as soon as the doctor can determine the required type of product (male, female or child), taking into account the shape and severity pathology.

When choosing, the dimensions of the device, the level of pressure, as well as the degree of fixation of all elements are taken into account.

Criterias of choice:

• Before buying a medical belt all elements should be checked for operability - fasteners, locks, straps, Velcro. In this case, special attention must be paid to ensure that the bandage does not unfasten spontaneously.
• Manufacturing material. The fabric of the fixing product must comply with all standards - the degree of air permeability, lightness, practicality. It is recommended to select products that have an additional antiseptic layer.
• Width. It is selected taking into account the patient's figure, since an incorrectly selected size can squeeze the problem area too much or, conversely, lead to protrusion.
• Fitting. If necessary, the product can be tried on. All elements on the bandage must be in the correct position, and the product itself must not cause discomfort during wearing.
• Discreet wearing. Not every orthopedic product has this function. In stores, there is only one type of such bandages, which look like swimming trunks. However, such a treatment device is not suitable for treating umbilical hernias.

Also, before purchasing an orthopedic belt, it is recommended to make sure that the seller has a certificate for the goods being sold.
