FAQ - Anti-Roll Belts
Q: Is this hernia belt suitable for a for female and male users?
A: Yes, the CUI belt is a versatile, unisex hernia support belt that can be used as a targeted hernia belt for female and male patients. The adjustable closure ensures a precise fit.
Q: Can this ostomy belt be worn over my appliance?
A: Yes, the wraparound design is specialised to be worn over your ostomy appliance to provide crucial ostomy belt support and stabilisation. There is enough compression to support the stoma area, as it is designed to stretch so that your bag can still function properly underneath
Q: How do I know if the width is correct for my needs?
A: The 20cm belt is one of our most popular sizes. To get your depth size you should sit down and measure from the top of your stoma bag to your leg crease. We recommend measuring and consulting your Stoma Nurse for professional guidance on the optimal belt width.
Q: Should I wear this hernia support belt while sleeping?
A: Generally, we do not recommend wearing Level 2 or Level 3 support garments while sleeping. For overnight security and comfort, we suggest opting for Level 1 light support, which provides gentle positioning without the firm compression required for daytime hernia management. Always follow the specific advice of your Stoma Care Nurse regarding your overnight routine.
Q: Can I get this anti-roll hernia support belt via NHS prescription?
A: Yes, the CUI Anti-Roll Hernia Support Belt is fully approved and can be obtained through the NHS prescription service across the UK at your GPs discretion. Please speak to your stoma nurse or contact our customer service team.
Q: Can this anti-roll hernia support belt help prevent a hernia, and does it support an existing one?
A: Yes, this anti-roll hernia support belt serves two critical purposes. For those without a hernia, it provides the necessary abdominal reinforcement to aid in parastomal hernia prevention, especially during physical activity. For those with an existing hernia, the Level 3 firm compression provides vital hernia management to help contain the bulge, stabilise the area, and reduce associated discomfort.
