What is a hernia?

A hernia is a protrusion of tissue through a weak area in the muscle or connective tissue.Hernias can occur in various parts of the body, but most commonly in the abdomen. There are several types of hernias, including inguinal hernias, femoral hernias, hiatal hernias, umbilical hernias, and incisional hernias. The type of hernia will determine the course of treatment.

 

What is a large or inoperable hernia?

A hernia is a condition where a portion of the intestine or other internal tissue bulges through a weak spot or tear in the abdominal muscles. When this hernia is too large or complicated to be repaired surgically, it is referred to as a large or inoperable hernia.

Why does such hernia need support?

In the case of large or inoperable hernias, the internal tissues and organs are at risk of becoming trapped or strangled, causing severe pain, discomfort and even life-threatening complications. To prevent this, a hernia support is necessary to help keep the hernia in place and prevent it from worsening.

What is the RUBAN hernia support binder?

RUBAN is a purpose-designed hernia support binder made specifically to manage large or inoperable hernias. It’s unique, proprietary multi-band design with an ample velcro closure of each band, allows for compression to be adjusted individually at the upper, mid or lower abdomen providing the best comfort for the patient, tailored to the medical requirements. This provides a snug and secure fit, helping to reduce the pressure on the hernia and prevent it from worsening.

 

 

 

Why not use a standard abdominal binder?

Standard abdominal binders may provide some support, but they are not designed specifically for hernias and may not provide the level of support needed for a large or inoperable hernia. Additionally, standard binders may not fit properly, or have flexibility in adjustments at various levels on the abdomen, causing discomfort and further irritating the hernia.

When is the purpose-designed RUBAN Hernia Support Binder used?

The RUBAN binder should be used as soon as a large or inoperable hernia is diagnosed. This will help to prevent the hernia from worsening and protect the internal tissues and organs.

How is RUBAN used?

The specialized binder is typically worn around the waist, covering the affected area. Each of the multi-bands can be adjusted for a snug and secure fit and RUBAN can be worn under clothing for added comfort and discreetness. It is recommended to use the binder as advised by your physician.

 

In conclusion, a large or inoperable hernia can be a serious and potentially life-threatening condition. A specialized hernia support binder like RUBAN provides the necessary support to help manage the hernia, reduce pressure, and prevent it from worsening. If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with a large or inoperable hernia, it is important to consider using a specialized hernia support binder for optimal support and protection.
