SUITABLE FOR
Girdle-trousers of this type are indicated for persons with flaccid muscle tissue with prominent
pendulous abdomen, sagging glutei and soft thigh musculature associated with lower back pain
incisional hernias, post-abdominal wall surgery, arthritis and rheumatic problems, etc. in which
cosmetic appearance is important as well as compression which gathers and contains al the asso-
ciated musculature, obtaining elevation of the lower abdomen and creating an upwards compres-
sion, preventing chafing of the inner thighs.
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:
It is recommended to be used with underwear so as to obtain greater comfort and hygiene.
With the opening systems open, place each leg into its corresponding trouser leg.
Then lift the girdle-trousers up to the pubic area, gathering the glutei. Raise the rest of the girdle
as high as possible, up to about just below the ribs, and close the girdle starting below and going
upwards, starting with the hook-and-eye system, then closing the zip.
Adaptation of the lumbosacral support:
The lumbosacral support is an elastic element in the back zone of girdle-trousers. At both ends
it has 4 rows of hooks which allow us to regulate the pressure of the elastic lumbosacral system.
On the front (abdominal), there are 2 tabs which on their ends, a row of male hooks. Pull the back
elastic bands toward the abdomen, fastening them with the hooks on the desired row in order
to obtain the necessary compression, always starting from the lowest, and going to the highest
hook. Carry out this procedure on both sides.
Attachment of the lumbar cushion:
The panty girdle has an anatomically designed lumbar pad.
Before putting in place, it needs to be adapted to the patient's lumbar area. Once this has been
done, remove the astrakhan Velcro straps and position the fastener area on the velour provided
for this purpose.
The widest area should be positioned upwards and the narrowest edge downwards. For proper
positioning, the Velcro face should be attached to the rear internal side of the girdle, positioned in
accordance with the female Velcro and properly aligned.
The plate should be adapted to the patient's lumbar curve, which we can do using our hand. Take
care to ensure that the Velcro fastener does not come into contact with the external part of the
orthosis, in order to avoid chaffing with the fabric.
