Why Do I Need This Hernia Pad for My Abdominal Hernia Discomfort?

This removable hernia pad is essential in relieving your hernia pain or discomfort. Although the only way to completely treat an abdominal hernia is to undergo surgery, wearing a hernia support band with a raised pad helps prevent your hernia from protruding out more while you wait for your procedure. It will also help relieve your pain especially when you move, twist, and cough.

You can also wear this hernia pad after surgery to help protect your incision site and reduce the chance of your hernia from recurring.

What Are Abdominal Hernias?

An abdominal hernia is when your intestines or internal organs push through your abdomen muscles. This protrusion causes a noticeable bump or lump in the site of your hernia. Although hernias can occur in your groin, esophagus, and abdomen, this pad for hernia truss belts specifically treats those located in your stomach region. There are two specific kinds of abdomen hernias that this hernia pad helps – umbilical (belly button hernia/naval hernia) and incisional (ventral) hernias.

Abdominal hernias can be caused by many different factors such as being overweight, having multiple pregnancies, a past stomach surgery, and even having a chronic cough.

Features of This Hernia Pad Support for Abdominal Hernias

• Fastener Closures Make This Pad Removable

This pad is secured by fastener, allowing you to position the pad anywhere on the belt, depending on the specific location of your hernia.

• Raised Shape of the Pad Maximizes Pressure on Hernia

The raised bump of the hernia pad places maximum pressure directly on your hernia and helps prevent it from bulging out more. Wearing a belt with a pad helps your hernia extremely compared to wearing just an abdominal binder because the raised bump forces your internal organs to stay inside your stomach muscles.

• Comfortable Yet Tough Enough to Support Your Hernia

The pad is comprised of silicone and plastic material, making it durable enough to support your umbilical hernia while also being comfortable against your skin.

• Washable Cover

The cover is made of terrycloth fabric (100% polyester), making it soft against your stomach. The cover is also easily washed while attached.

Can I Wear This Pad With Other Abdominal Binders and Wraps?

Since the pad is removable and available to purchase separately, you can buy it to wear with a few of our other abdominal binders to help with your hernia pain.

You can place this hernia pad on our hernia binders ands supports.
