ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a support intended primarily to prevent abdominal and/or inguinal hernias from bulging while the garment is worn. The garment consists of a one-piece, approximately I-shaped fabric with a front and rear area connected by a narrow neck portion passing through the crotch. Tension on the supporting fabric is provided by elastic bands which are stitched to the front and rear sections and pass over the hip. The garment, with a slight modification to accommodate anatomical differences, can equally serve males and females. The support comes in two styles basically of the same design and structure. One style is for one or two-sided hernias, and the other style is for one-sided hernias only. The left and right-sided supports are symmetrical opposites. An optional stiffener may be added to any style.
