Torbot Celebration Ostomy Hernia Support Belt, 2-3/8 in Opening, Latex-Free

The Torbot Celebration Ostomy Hernia Support Belt is worn over an ostomy pouch to give hernia support, guard the stoma and carry the pouch's weight. Its 2-3/8 in (6 cm) belt opening accommodates most standard pouches, it can be worn on either the right or left side, and it adapts to a colostomy, ileostomy or urostomy. It fits over one-piece and two-part pouch systems worn on an adhesive stoma wafer, and it comes in two sizes by waist measurement.

The belt is made up of four parts. A soft plastic hernia plate sits in a pocket sewn into the belt body, where it gives hernia support and helps prevent leaking. A stoma shield, die cut from strong plastic, fits into three button holes over the belt opening: output still flows into the pouch while the shield protects the stoma from irritation or trauma from seat belts, work or sports. An adjustable pocket below the belt holds the pouch so it does not sway as you move and carries its weight as it fills, so the pouch does not pull on the wafer and leak.

The belt body is a soft Tricot backing with a Velfoam face, sewn to open weave elastic and closed with Velcro ends. It is made of a comfortable composite material designed for long life and easy care, and all of its materials are latex free. A hard blow in contact sports can injure a stoma and heavy lifting can cause a hernia at the stoma, which is what the stoma shield and hernia plate are there for.

How to Wear the Torbot Celebration Ostomy Support Belt

1. Affix your adhesive stoma wafer. In a two-part pouch system, attach the pouch to the wafer.
2. Put the hernia plate into its pocket on the belt.
3. Place the belt opening in front of the wafer and pull the pouch through the opening.
4. Pull the belt ends around your body to a comfortable snug fit.
5. Secure the belt with the Velcro ends.
6. Fit the stoma shield into the belt over the belt opening to protect the stoma from irritation or trauma, if you wish.
7. Fold the parts of the pouch-stabilizing pocket around the pouch; worn this way the belt reduces the pendulum effect of the pouch when it has contents.
8. When the pouch is empty you may fold the pocket up and secure it with the Velcro strip at the top of the belt. Note that the pouch will not fill in the folded up position.

Care

• Hand wash the belt in cool water with a mild detergent and hang it to dry.
• Clean the plastic hernia plate and stoma shield with a mild detergent and wipe dry.
