Made out of elastic and sewn by hand
Loose stitching to allow elastic to stretch
Back strap is offset so it pulls opposite front hernia area
Elastic must pull tight against hernia in front
The truss shown is for hernia on the right side
Cotton cloth pad placed under truss in front prevents elastic from cutting into skin
A cotton rag folded to fit between the truss and pad in
front will provide extra pressure to hold the hernia

The band that goes from the front of the waist band, under and attaches to the rear of the waist band can cause a rash or sores from rubbing on the skin. It is a good idea to fold a small piece of cotton cloth and slide between the band and the skin. |
