FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
THE PRODUCT SHOULD BE ADJUSTED BY YOUR ORTHOPAEDIC TECHNICIAN OR IN ACCORDANCE
WITH DOCTOR’S ORDERS.
In order to obtain a greater degree of therapeutic effectiveness in the different pathologies and to
prolong the life and utility of the product, it is fundamental that the correct size adequate for each
patient or user is chosen (enclosed in the packet is a diagram with all the sizes and the equivalent
in centimetres). An excess compression can produce intolerance, therefore we recommend that
the compression be regulated to an optimum degree.
To fit observe the following aspects:
Before proceeding with the fitting of the truss, take into account the following recommendations
as the success of the treatment depends on these. Firstly completely reduce the hernia down to
the abdominal cavity; this should be carried out in the decubitus supine position (lying face up),
as this way the force of gravity helps the intestine to retreat.
Following this, place the cushioned ball of containment so that it limits the hernia. If using the
truss with a strap, place the belt above the waist, under the apophyses, front upper ilium, and
subsequently over the gluteus maximus. If the truss has a strap in the inguinal area, this should be
passed through the legs laterally upwards, through and under the gluteus and should be secured
onto the belt.
HERNIA PANT MODEL:
If the pant has been chosen, place it like a conventional pant, ensuring the cushions block the
hernia, then adjust the scrotal band holding it up to the abdomen using the velcro fasteners.
SUSPENSORY TRUSS MODEL:
To adapt the suspensory truss initially adjust the pelvic belt. Insert the penis through the orifice
and place the scrotum in the scrotal bag (interchangeable), pass the straps through the groin,
subsequently lifting through the buttock and adjusting the pelvic belt, obtaining hence the neces-
sary traction.
