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.

The silicone pad is soft and shaped to conform to the abdominal shape; its material and shape are selected to avoid enlarging the hernia during prolonged wear.
