The uniquely designed front panel offers the opportunity to cut a hole to fit the individual stoma pouch, while containing the controlled compression of the stoma/hernia. Indication: Precaution:
| Composition Washing Instructions
Close the velcro in the outer position before washing. Wash with similar colours and in a washing bag. We recommend wash at 60°C. The belt can be washed at 95°C, but it reduces the durability of the belt. Washing or drying at temperatures higher than recommended will decrease durability and function. Use of chlorine-based bleach or chlorine-based disinfectant will decrease durability and function. |
Measurement at the widest abdominal circumference.
- Do the measuring at the widest abdominal circumference (on the area that’s supposed to be covered by the belt)
- Choose a size according to the measurement, but ensure that the belt feels supportive as well as comfortable when the he-part of the belt is fixed in the middle position of hook & loop. The reason for the fixation in the middle position of the hook & loop is that this ensures that the support level can always be adjusted (tightened or loosened). If the user for instance looses weight, it is possible to tighten the belt. If the user gains weight or has had a large meal, it’s possible to loosen the belt (for a while or permanent).
- Always assess the user when he/she lies, sits and stands to make sure you’ve chosen an appropriate size that feels supportive as well as comfortable in every position. If the belt feels too tight, when sitting, it’s advisable to choose a bigger size.
- Also take the following factors into consideration: Sedentary work, general daily activity level (mainly active or bedridden for instance) and choose a size that feels supportive as well as comfortable according to work and general activity level
- Compression is tolerated individually. Some tolerate compression well, some don’t tolerate compression well. Therefore, always assess perceived compression level. If compression level isn’t tolerated well, choose a bigger size.
IMPORTANT: Always measure yourself to find the right size
Stuart McLean, 88 years old from Australia, has an ileostomy and hernia. He has tried our Corsinel Belt with Panel and this is what he says about it.
“I am a very proud wearer of the Corsiner Belt with Panel. The difference this belt has made to my life is incredible. Having an Ileostomy and Hernia four and a half years has presented many problems. I have tried various belts and briefs, never feeling comfortable and always anxious about the Stoma output – many leaks.
The Corsinel Belt with Panel comes with very easy, explicit instructions for the cutting of the opening for the bag to protrude, which is a wonderful idea. It is very comfortable to wear, my wellbeing is very much improved and I have no hesitation in recommending this garment to any Hernia sufferer. This belt has made such a difference to my comfort. I thank God every day for finding your website and also for the way you have all responded to my requests. I hold Tytex and you good people in very high regard. Once again thank you for all your help.”
