UMBILICAL HERNIA
An umbilical hernia occurs when intestine, fat or fluid presses through a weakness in the abdominal wall near the navel, producing a visible bulge. It may cause discomfort and can increase in size over time.

Product description
The umbilical hernia support belt AM-PPB is made of thermoformed EVA foam and is fitted with an anatomical silicone pad. The silicone pad is soft and shaped to conform to the abdominal contour; its material and shape are selected to avoid enlarging the hernia during prolonged wear. The device includes a wide circumferential strap whose length can be adjusted by cutting the end for a custom fit.
