Anatomical cushion inguinal hernia pad Pavis 5,45€ left-right

The flat pad hernia support has been improved into an anatomical inguinal hernia compression pad, left pad for the affected left side, right pad for the affected right side. Anatomical replacement pads are better than flat pad supports because they adapt to the morphology of the groin and exert a concentrated anatomical compression on the hernia. These cushion-supports provide comfortable, effective support for reducible inguinal hernias.

Hints from the experts
FAQ: do I have to wear inguinal hernia pads (or not, or the whole time) ?
In an acute phase, you must start with hernia pads always 'in'.
We have however a percentage of mostly working-active people telling us from experience that they do not have to wear the pads on a calm day.
We recommended with succes to start with the hernia pads 'in' and after 7-10 days start to 'not' put the pads in on a comparable easy day (mostly sunday). Putting a litte mark on your calendar with the result at 10 a.m. or noon/afternoon, they knew in the end perfectly when to wear the pads and when not.
Only order the pads you need.
Slips : only buy 1 slip to start to be sure : 1/you bought the right size and 2/ you can still order extra ones once you're satisfied or for the replacement of non-anatomical ones.

Contraindications

• Local skin conditions: f.e. hypersensitive skin : due to post-operative scars, painful scars, edema, stomas (where a higher pressure on or around the pocket could be uncomfortable)

Frequently asked questions

• Are the pads reusable?
  Yes, but you must remove them before washing the underwear.
• Do I always need to wear a pad?
  Yes, especially during the first days.
  Afterwards (for example day 3, day 4...) you can try whether the pressure of the underwear is sufficient to keep the hernia in.
  Sometimes, on days when you take it easy, you may not need a pad. On normal workdays you might.
  Make sure the hernia always stays in and does not protrude further.
  On days when you have a cold (coughing, sneezing), the pressure increases again.
• Can I replace the pad with thinner fabric?
  Yes, but you must imitate the shape so the hernia stays in. Use cotton (east to wash)
• Can I reuse the pad?
  Yes, remove it before washing. Only if it is heavily soiled should you clean it thoroughly. See also the instruction leaflet.
• The pressure of the hernia is so strong that over time the pad gets compressed or flatter. Can I still use it?
  Yes, as long as it achieves its purpose.
  If the hernia stays in, there is no problem.
  It does show how much force is on the hernia and how much counter-pressure the underwear and pad provide.
