At Orthotix Healthcare, we understand that the right support can transform not only physical comfort, but also confidence, independence and overall quality of life. That is why we have developed an innovative range of medical underwear in the UK, designed to deliver clinical-grade support while remaining discreet under everyday clothing.
Our collection brings together solutions for hernia support, ostomy care, incontinence management, scrotal support and maternity wear, all carefully engineered to support daily movement without compromising comfort or dignity.
Many of our products are also available via FP10 prescription, helping healthcare professionals provide patients with accessible, clinically appropriate solutions that integrate seamlessly into everyday life.
What is medical underwear
Medical underwear refers to specialist garments classified as Class I medical devices, designed to provide targeted compression, support and protection for a wide range of medical conditions.
Unlike standard underwear, these garments are developed with a clear clinical purpose. They support weakened areas of the body, assist with post-surgical recovery and help manage ongoing conditions, all while being worn discreetly beneath normal clothing.
For many individuals, medical underwear provides a non-invasive and comfortable way to manage their condition, enabling greater freedom of movement and improved confidence throughout the day.
A complete range of medical underwear solutions
At Orthotix, our portfolio has been carefully developed to address a broad spectrum of clinical needs, combining medical functionality with modern design and everyday wearability. Our range includes:
➡ Hernia support underwear and belts
Our hernia support range reflects a balance between traditional clinical solutions and modern garment design. The Hernia Compression Boxers offer a contemporary alternative to standard briefs, delivering strong abdominal compression in a familiar boxer style. Designed for everyday use, they include internal slip pockets for optional pads, allowing enhanced inguinal support when needed. Each purchase also includes a complimentary pair of containment pads.
For a more lightweight option, the Hernia Belt provides discreet yet effective compression for both left and right inguinal hernias. Its adjustable under-crotch strap ensures secure positioning, making it suitable for both daily wear and post-surgical recovery.
We also offer traditional hernia trusses for individuals requiring a higher level of support. The Reinforced Hook and Loop Truss delivers maximum tension and targeted compression through an anatomically shaped cushion pad, supported by an adjustable elastic belt and under-buttock strap. It is available in left, right or bilateral configurations to suit individual needs.
➡ Ostomy support underwear
Living with a stoma requires solutions that prioritise both security and discretion. Our ostomy underwear range has been developed to support confidence and comfort in everyday life.
For men, our boxer-style ostomy underwear features a secure internal pocket to hold the stoma bag in place, reducing movement and improving stability. The athletic fit and wide waistband enhance comfort, while breathable antibacterial AirGenix fabric helps reduce odour and irritation, making it suitable for both daily wear and more active lifestyles.
For women, our ostomy support underwear by Pavis uses the same high-quality breathable fabric as the men’s range, ensuring consistent comfort and performance. Designed with integrated support panels or internal pockets, these garments provide a secure fit while maintaining a smooth, discreet silhouette under clothing.
➡ Incontinence underwear for men and women
Our incontinence underwear range is designed to support individuals managing light to moderate incontinence with discretion, comfort and dignity.
The collection includes both disposable pad options and reusable high-absorbency garments, allowing flexibility depending on individual needs and preferences. Each product is developed with a focus on moisture management, leak protection and skin health, helping to reduce irritation and support comfort during prolonged wear.
As part of our commitment to innovation, Orthotix Healthcare has partnered with Levabo to introduce allDRY incontinence underwear into our range. As a Class I medical device, allDRY is specifically designed to help prevent Incontinence-Associated Dermatitis and Moisture-Associated Skin Damage. By combining advanced moisture control with clinically trusted skin protection, it supports both comfort and long-term skin integrity.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to improving patient outcomes, while ensuring dignity, confidence and ease of use remain central to continence care.
➡ Women’s containment girdles
The Pavis Women’s Containment Girdle combines medical support with a modern, wearable design. Made from breathable microfiber, it provides light abdominal compression while enhancing natural body shape.
Its smooth textile finish allows it to sit discreetly under clothing, making it suitable for both everyday wear and light physical activity. It offers a practical solution for women seeking gentle support without compromising comfort.
➡ Maternity support briefs
Our Pavis maternity briefs are designed to provide gentle and effective support throughout pregnancy. Constructed from hypoallergenic fabric with a soft cotton lining, they prioritise comfort, hygiene and breathability.
The anatomically shaped design supports the lower abdomen and anchors at the back, helping to relieve mild back discomfort while supporting the prenatal bump. These briefs offer a simple and discreet solution for everyday prenatal care.
Designed around real life
Every product in the Orthotix medical underwear range is created with real-life use in mind. From breathable fabrics and ergonomic design to discreet finishes that sit comfortably under clothing, each garment is developed to support both physical needs and emotional wellbeing.
Whether managing a long-term condition, recovering from surgery or seeking additional daily support, the right medical underwear can make a meaningful difference in comfort, mobility and confidence.
Supporting patients and healthcare professionals
Orthotix Healthcare is proud to support both individuals and clinicians with trusted medical underwear solutions in the UK. With selected products available via FP10 prescription, we help ensure that high-quality, clinically effective garments are accessible to those who need them most.
In addition to individual patient supply, we also provide our medical underwear range through the NHS Supply Chain, as well as directly to hospitals, orthotic providers and trade partners. This ensures healthcare organisations have access to reliable, clinically proven garments that support patient outcomes across a wide range of care settings.
Our focus remains on delivering solutions that prioritise comfort, dignity and independence, while meeting the highest standards of medical performance.
