Who is the Hernia Containment Girdle & Pads (Standard) suitable for?
It is designed for women who require firm abdominal compression with the option of more focused left-, right- or bilateral inguinal support using containment pads.

What is the difference between this and the High Containment Girdle?
The Standard version has an approximately 11-inch waist depth and includes internal pockets for inguinal containment pads. The High version provides deeper abdominal coverage but is not described as having the same pad-pocket system. Orthotix Healthcare

Are hernia pads included?
Yes. Orthotix currently supplies one left and one right containment pad with this product. They can be used individually or together depending on where support is required. Orthotix Healthcare

How should the pads be positioned?
The correct left or right pad should lie flat within its matching internal pocket and remain positioned over the intended inguinal support area. Do not apply a pad over a painful, hard or unreduced hernia. Orthotix Healthcare

How tight should the girdle feel?
It should feel noticeably firm and supportive but should not cause pain, numbness, tingling, breathing restriction, broken skin or persistent deep marks. Orthotix Healthcare

Can it be worn under normal clothing?
Yes. The standard-waist design is intended to sit beneath everyday clothing. The garment and any pads should remain flat rather than rolling or bunching beneath clothing. Orthotix Healthcare

How do I choose the correct size?
Measure the pelvic circumference using the product size guide rather than relying on normal underwear or dress size. This range uses detailed numeric sizing from Small 65 through to 3X Large 115. Orthotix Healthcare

Can it be worn following hernia surgery?
It may be used where abdominal or inguinal support has been recommended after surgery. Follow the advice of the surgical team regarding when to begin wearing compression and how firmly it should fit.

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