ABSTRACT:
The invention is a postoperative binder made of relatively inelastic material that is cut to fit the patient and held in place by Velcro.RTM. binders. The present invention uses mechanical, rather than elastic, compression. Mechanical loads are carried near or on the hip joint, either by physically hooking the binder over the hips or attaching it to an elastic band that rides on or above the patient's hips. The present invention provides mechanical support to lower abdominal tissue, especially near the genitals and in the area of the peritoneum.
