Fitting instructions Hernia trusses for reducible inguinal hernia (i.e. the hernia can be pushed back into its cavity) have comprised a proven therapy concept for several decades. The pad presses against the hernial ring, thus hindering the emergence and trapping of the hernia. For attaching the aid, the patient should be placed on an appropriate examination table in psoas position: for this purpose, the patient lies flat on his back, the legs are elevated. The lower legs are placed at right angles to the thighs on a surface which should be as high as the length of the thighs. The inguinal hernia should then no longer be palpable, that is to say not emerge from the abdomen. Then, position the pad on the hernial ring. Then wrap the truss (pelvic restraint) around the body at the level of iliac crest (between the waist and hip) and fasten it. If necessary, the spring steel spring integrated into the pelvic restraint can be adjusted to the patient. Removal To remove, open the fastener and then remove the brace (hernia truss).
