Fitting instructions:
Hernia trusses for reducible inguinal hernia (i.e. the hernia can be pushed
back into its cavity) have comprised a proven therapy concept for several
decades. The pad presses against the hernial ring, thus hindering the
emergence and trapping of the hernia.
For attaching the aid, the patient should be placed on an appropriate
examination table in psoas position: for this purpose, the patient lies flat on
his back, the legs are elevated. The lower legs are placed at right angles to
the thighs on a surface which should be as high as the length of the thighs.
The inguinal hernia should then no longer be palpable, that is to say not
emerge from the abdomen.
Then, position the pads on the hernial rings. Then wrap the truss (pelvic
restraint) around the body at the level of iliac crest (between the waist and hip)
and fasten it.
If necessary, the spring steel springs integrated into the pelvic restraint can be
adjusted to the patient.

Removal:
To remove, open the fastener and then remove the brace (hernia truss).
