Frequently Asked Questions About Hernia Support Belts
What is a hernia belt used for?
A hernia belt (or stoma support belt) provides targeted Level 3 firm compression to support the abdominal wall. It is designed to support parastomal hernias, manage existing abdominal bulges, prevent hernia formation following stoma surgery, and provide daily security during activity.
How do I choose the right size hernia belt?
To find your correct size, measure firmly around your abdomen in line with your stoma or hernia site (do not rely on standard waist or trouser sizing). For best accuracy, measure while lying flat or standing erect. If you fall between sizes or manage a larger parastomal bulge, consult our sizing guide or contact our specialist clinical team.
Can I wear a hernia belt with a stoma bag?
Yes. CUI Wear hernia support belts are engineered specifically for ostomates. They distribute firm, even compression across the abdomen without constricting your stoma pouch or impeding bag flow, allowing your appliance to function naturally while staying secure.
How tight should a hernia belt be?
Your hernia belt should feel firm, supportive, and snug against the abdominal wall, but never painfully tight or restrictive. You should be able to breathe comfortably and sit without the belt rolling or digging in. If you experience discomfort or pouch restriction, loosen the fastenings slightly.
