Peristomal Hernias
The original support belt with a soft blue ring
placed in a non-stretch panel. It flattens small
bulges and helps protect hernia repairs.
The belt elastic forms around bulges and other
body shapes more naturally and comes with a
sturdy beige belt ring. This is the most recommended

Measure the circumference horizontally around the body, in line with the
stoma. If there is no hernia, measure standing in line with stoma.
If herniated, the measurement should be made while laying on
the back ( supine position ) after 5 minutes.
Tip:
If laying measurement falls between sizes, go to the next larger size
If standing measurement falls between sizes, go to next smaller size
