Who is the Hernia Containment Girdle (High) suitable for?
It is designed for women who require firm abdominal and inguinal compression with greater upper-abdominal coverage than a standard-waist garment.

What is the difference between the High and Standard Girdles?
The High Girdle has an approximately 13-inch waist depth and provides broader abdominal coverage. The Standard Girdle & Pads has an approximately 11-inch depth and includes internal pockets with removable left- and right-sided containment pads.

Does the High Girdle include hernia pads?
No. This product is intended primarily for broad compression rather than concentrated pad containment. If targeted left-, right- or bilateral inguinal pad support is required, consider the Standard Girdle & Pads instead.

Who might prefer the High Waist version?
It may suit someone with a longer torso, someone wanting broader abdominal coverage, or someone who finds a lower waistband rolls beneath the abdomen or finishes across an uncomfortable area.

How should the High Girdle fit?
It should feel firm and supportive while remaining flat across the abdomen. It should not cause pain, numbness, restricted breathing, broken skin or persistent deep pressure marks.

How do I choose the correct size?
Measure the pelvic circumference using the product size guide rather than relying on ordinary clothing or underwear size.

Can I wear it under normal clothing?
Yes. A high-waist garment can work particularly well beneath dresses, higher-waisted trousers and loose clothing, although its upper edge may be visible above low-rise trousers. Orthotix Healthcare

Can it be worn following hernia surgery?
It may be used where compression support has been recommended after surgery. Follow the surgical team’s advice regarding when to begin wearing it, its position and the appropriate compression level.

Can it be worn following childbirth?
Post-childbirth support is listed among the current indications. The appropriate timing and level of compression will depend on individual recovery and any clinical advice provided.

Does the girdle prevent or cure an inguinal hernia?
No. It provides external compression and containment while worn but does not repair the underlying abdominal-wall weakness.

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