10 reasons every abdominal surgery patient should use QualiBelly Advanced

1. Decreased risk of infection
   Separation of drainage systems, driver line systems or any other device systems is completely eliminated
   when using QualiBelly Advanced - the risk of infection is decreased
   
   
2. No more time-consuming cutting of holes in binder material
   The bands of the QualiBelly Advanced are closed above and below drainage tubes, stoma devices, driver lines or other devices that may exit from the abdominal area, and the closure slits give ample space and flexibility for any size or form of devices
   - the use of scissors or knives to make holes in the material is completely eliminated
   
   
3. Wound inspection and care with maintained abdominal support and less pain
   One or two of the three QualiBelly Advanced bands can be opened for free access to the wound site, while one (or two) of the bands remain closed - partial abdominal support is maintained making wound care less painful
   
   
4. Reclosure by just one healthcare person
   Unlike traditional binders, QualiBelly Advanced can easily be re-closed on patients of all body sizes incl. on the extremely obese, on condition that one of the bands is kept closed - less staff required to handle wound care
   
   
5. Compression adjusted to type of surgery
   The compression can be individually adjusted at upper, mid or lower abdominal segments thanks to the three bands being attached to each other by a proprietary stitching method while leaving ample closure slits - unmatched patient comfort
   
   
6. Conversion to a lower two-band support
   Unlike traditional binders the top band of QualiBelly Advanced can easily be folded down for additional comfort and back support when patients need a rest in the sitting position - unmatched patient comfort 
   
   
7. Optional universal drainage/device holder and line organiser
   Enables organisation and attachment directly to the QualiBelly Advanced of drainage bottles or other devices and their respective lines which facilitates the patients liberation from the bed - no more need for pins or tape
   
   
8. Compliments and protects the internal closures with a firm, external support
   Reduces swelling and potential for hernia, optimizes wound alignment and healing - decreased risk of complications
   
   
9. Improves patients posture and breathing techniques
   A better posture improves a patients breathing which helps to prevent postoperative lung complications
   - decreased risk of complications
   
   
10. Decreases health care costs and gives a hospital significant return of investment
    Designed to prevent infections, decrease postoperative pain and pulmonary complications - significant ROI
    
    

Incision pain can be relieved by pain medication. It does not improve a poor posture
or a shallow breathing, nor does it stimulate to mobilization or prevent postoperative complications.

QualiBelly Advanced is an important key to advance recovery, well-being, hospital experience and to prevent postoperative complications which ultimately decrease health care costs.
