Who is the Hernia Compression Brief (Standard) suitable for?
It is designed for men requiring firm abdominal and inguinal compression, including external containment of an uncomplicated inguinal hernia or where support has been recommended around hernia surgery.

Are containment pads included?
Yes. Orthotix supplies one left and one right removable containment pad with the Standard Brief. They can be used individually or together depending on where support is required.

How should the pads be positioned?
Insert the appropriate pad into the matching internal pocket so that it lies flat over the intended inguinal support area. Do not apply concentrated pressure over a painful, hard or non-reducible hernia.

What is the difference between the Standard and High Waist briefs?
The Standard Brief, SKU 651, has an approximate 11-inch waist depth. The High version, SKU 652, extends approximately two inches higher and provides greater abdominal coverage. Both use firm compression, internal pad pockets and removable pads. Orthotix Healthcare

How tight should the brief feel?
It should feel firm and supportive without causing pain, numbness, tingling, restricted breathing, broken skin or persistent deep pressure marks.

Can it be worn beneath everyday clothing?
Yes. The brief-style design avoids boxer-leg material and can work well beneath normal trousers, provided the outer clothing does not cause the waistband to roll or move the pads out of position. Orthotix Healthcare

Should I wear ordinary underwear underneath it?
This garment is designed with cotton against the skin and is normally worn directly against the body. Additional underwear can introduce seams, bunching and movement that interfere with pad positioning. Orthotix Healthcare

Can I wear it after hernia surgery?
It may be suitable where compression support has been recommended following surgery. Do not position firm pads over a fresh incision, dressing or painful surgical area unless specifically advised.

How should I wash it?
Hand wash at 30°C in accordance with the current product care instructions. Orthotix Healthcare

Does the brief cure or prevent an inguinal hernia?
No. The garment provides external compression and containment while it is worn but does not repair the underlying abdominal-wall weakness.
