How to choose a postoperative bandage for the abdominal cavity for an adult

As PhD, plas­tic sur­geon Ilya Alma­zov explains, there are 3 types of post­op­er­a­tive ban­dages:

1. body­suit with rein­forced belt;
2. just body;
3. just a belt.

Each type has its pros and cons, regard­less of the man­u­fac­tur­er. For exam­ple, belts can slip and rub the skin. Body­suits with­out a rein­forc­ing belt cre­ate insuf­fi­cient com­pres­sion on the ante­ri­or abdom­i­nal wall, which is not suit­able for patients with umbil­i­cal her­nia and dias­ta­sis.

When choos­ing a ban­dage, first of all, it is nec­es­sary to take into account the vol­ume of sur­gi­cal inter­ven­tion on the abdom­i­nal wall. If this is lipo­suc­tion, com­pres­sion under­wear with­out a rein­forc­ing belt will be enough. This is a dense under­wear that com­plete­ly fits the stom­ach and waist. If any abdom­i­nal oper­a­tions were per­formed, as well as her­nia repair, abdomino­plas­ty, then a rein­forc­ing belt or body + rein­forc­ing belt is used.

But PhD, sur­geon of the high­est cat­e­go­ry Vasi­ly Gavrilov dis­tin­guish­es into sep­a­rate groups:

1. ban­dages for patients with an osto­my — they have a hole for a colosto­my;
2. ban­dages for patients with umbil­i­cal her­nia — they are equipped with a spe­cial sys­tem in the form of a pad.

- When choos­ing a ban­dage, it is nec­es­sary to take into account the type of sur­gi­cal inter­ven­tion, the height and weight of the patient. The size is select­ed accord­ing to the cir­cum­fer­ence of the waist in the navel. The width of the ban­dage should be such that it cov­ers the entire post­op­er­a­tive scar, the expert notes.

Reviews of doctors about postoperative bandages on the abdominal cavity

Post­op­er­a­tive ban­dages for the abdom­i­nal cav­i­ty are active­ly used in abdom­i­nal surgery. The vast major­i­ty of doc­tors are con­fi­dent that, when used cor­rect­ly, these med­ical acces­sories help to recov­er faster after surgery. Doc­tors pre­scribe wear­ing ban­dages for ther­a­peu­tic and pro­phy­lac­tic pur­pos­es, but they remind you that when choos­ing, it is advis­able to take into account the rec­om­men­da­tions of the attend­ing physi­cian.

- The best option is a body­suit with a rein­forced belt. Such mod­els are in the line of most man­u­fac­tur­ers, but, for exam­ple, in BEAUTIFUL LINE (a Russ­ian com­pa­ny), the mate­ri­als are rather rough and rub. Patients often com­plain of chaf­ing, espe­cial­ly in the under­bust area. The KREIT ban­dages have a coarse fab­ric, and the man­u­fac­tur­er also pro­duces only ban­dages with­out a body­suit.

One of the most suc­cess­ful, in terms of qual­i­ty mate­ri­als, is CLEARPOINT MEDICAL, MARENA and LEONISA. But their prod­ucts are not always avail­able for sale, says Vasi­ly Gavrilov.
