Flamingo Abdominal Belt 2002

The Flamingo Postnatal Abdominal Belt is a medical support used to provide gentle, steady compression to the abdominal wall. It helps control edema (swelling), supports soft tissues after childbirth or surgery, facilitates early movement, and reduces discomfort in the abdominal and lower back area.

Medical uses

• After cesarean or natural delivery to help support the abdominal wall and restore its firmness.
• After abdominal surgeries such as exploratory laparotomy, bariatric surgeries, and hysterectomy to support the surgical site and reduce muscle strain during movement.
• To provide protection and support while walking and during early mobilization after surgery, helping to reduce pain and improve safety during movement.
• During physical exercise or weight lifting to provide additional support to the abdominal and lower back muscles as per medical guidance.

Features and benefits

• Wide elastic band that provides uniform circumferential compression to the abdominal area, maintaining stable support without excessive localized pressure.
• Flexible stays with integrated supports that help keep the belt in place and reduce rolling or folding, improving stability during movement.
• Carefully controlled, gentle compression that helps improve local blood circulation, reduce swelling, and relieve pain in the abdominal and lower back area as part of the treatment plan.
• Multifunctional support that acts as an abdominal belt with lower back support, and can help support the trunk during physical effort or weight lifting according to medical advice.
• Breathable fabric that helps reduce sweating and improve comfort during wear, with the belt adjusted to be snug without excessive tightness.
• Adjustable hook-and-loop closure system that allows the level of tightness to be adapted to the abdominal circumference and the patient’s condition.
• Suitable for adults based on medical evaluation.

How to use and precautions

• Place the belt around the abdomen so that it evenly covers the front abdominal wall, according to the instructions of the doctor or physiotherapist.
• Tighten the belt and close the hooks gradually until a feeling of stability and support is achieved without causing pain or impairing blood circulation.
• Regularly check the skin under the belt to ensure there is no severe redness, irritation, or localized pain.
• Use the belt for the periods and duration of wear specified by the doctor, avoiding wearing it for longer than medically recommended.
• If you experience increasing pain, shortness of breath, or numbness in the lower limbs, remove the belt and contact your doctor.

Sizes and how to choose the right size

• Available in graduated sizes from small to larger sizes to suit different waist circumferences in adults.
• To determine the correct size, measure the waist circumference at navel level with a non-stretch measuring tape while standing in a natural position.
• Compare the waist measurement with the size chart supplied with the product to choose the matching or closest size according to the recommendation of the doctor or orthotic specialist.
• It is preferable to choose a size that provides firm support without excessive pressure, with the possibility of adjustment via the hook system.
