The Abdominal Hernia Brace of “Orthoteh” strengthens the front abdominal wall. It has two non-elastic plates in its front part. These provide moderate pressure thanks to the force of the wide elastic band. Two plastic stays are built into the back side. They protect the construction from folding. The elastic band is made of a breathable hypoallergenic fabric. It doesn’t contain latex and is very durable when used according to the instructions. The front plates have a 100% cotton lining for excellent comfort.
To put on
1. Place the brace at the appropriate height with the supporting stays situated symmetrically around the spine. The latter are skewed and the space between them widens towards the hips
2. Tighten and fix the non-elastic plates to the front. If the product is on too tight, loosen it. If you can’t feel an elastic pressure, you should probably fix it in a tighter position.
