The patient must get used to wearing a Hernia bandage. The first fitting of this bandage is not always comfortable, so it is advised gradually increase the time of application. Usually, within 1-2 weeks, the patient fully masters the bandage application and gets used to it.
Put on the bandage while lying on the back, directly on the body. If to wear a hernia bandage on clothes can shift and form folds which may cause skin irritation.
It is not recommended to wear a Hernia bandage around the clock, and it should be removed before going to bed (the lumbar and hernial protrusion areas should be washed with warm water). In the case of diseases associated with increased intra-abdominal pressure and significant stress on the abdominal wall (cough, nausea, vomiting, etc.), it is recommended to leave the bandage on at night, removing it for a few hours before going to bed for rest and hygienic treatment of both the area of the hernial protrusion and the bandage itself.
