Q: When should patients wear a belly binder in the abdominal area?
A: This depends on the type of surgery the patient went through. Most of them need to continuously wear waist binders for up to 6 weeks. After the recovery, doctors may provide medical advice and recommend wearing the binders less.
Q: Is it safe to sleep while wearing a waist binder?
A: Right after the surgery, patients might need to wear the abdominal binder for 24 hours a day to experience the maximum benefits that the compression provides. Our waist binders at FACE Med Store are designed to look and feel comfortable. They’re also breathable, which makes them useful for patients who need to wear abdominal binders even when they’re asleep.
Q: How do patients know which waist binder is best for them?
A: Choosing the right abdominal binder is crucial for patients who just went through surgery. Each patient’s size depends on the measurement of the wider parts that the binder covers. It’s the hips for women and the waist for men. A good waist binder should tightly snug the abdomen, but not too tight that it prevents the patient from breathing properly.
