Oppo Abdominal Binder Support
The Oppo Abdominal Binder Support has been designed to relieve strain on joints, ligaments, and muscles caused by a pendulous abdomen. It can also be worn as a binder for surgical dressings, and, with a panel construction that prevents rollover, it is both comfortable and reliable to wear.
Who Can Use the Oppo Abdominal Support?
With a supportive design and comfortable construction, the Oppo Abdominal Binder Support is an ideal choice for anybody looking to relieve the strain on their joints, ligaments, and muscles, particularly when this pain and discomfort have been caused by a pendulous abdomen. The support can also be worn post-operatively as a binder for surgical dressings, or as a postpartum recovery aid.
How Does the Oppo Abdominal Binder Work?
The Oppo Abdominal Binder Support features a special elastic panel that provides even support while preventing rollover. The support and compression relieve the strain on joints, ligaments and muscle caused by a pendulous abdomen, a condition in which the anterior abdominal wall becomes relaxed and allows the abdomen to hang down over the pubic region.
What Are the Benefits of Using an Abdominal Binder After Surgery?
The Oppo Abdominal Support can also be used for post-surgery recovery as a binder for surgical dressings. An abdominal binder can:
- Support your surgical incision
- Relieve pain
- Get you moving more
- Reduce swelling
How Do I Care for the Oppo Abdominal Binder Support?
You can wash the Oppo Abdominal Binder with mild soup at 30°C. Air-dry it away from heat and sunlight. Do not bleach, iron or dry clean the product.
Can I Use the Oppo Abdominal Binder for Postpartum Recovery?
Yes, the Oppo Abdominal Binder is great for postpartum recovery. Gentle compression and support will align your abdomen until your abdominal organs and muscles can bounce back to their pre-baby shape, which can also help with floppy and loose skin, and provide light compression to help your uterus shrink.
Abdominal binders can also help to reduce pain, increase mobility, stabilise your pelvis floor, and even help deal with diastasis recti. Moreover, this Oppo Binder may also relieve mild lower back pain.
How Can the Oppo Abdominal Binder Help with Diastasis Recti?
Once the connective tissue gets stretched out, it can be difficult to rebuild your core strength and bring your muscles back together. Wearing an abdominal binder aids in holding the tissue, ligaments and bones in place to stabilise the pelvis. This allows you to begin exercising while recovering.
Can I Wear the Oppo Abdominal Support During Pregnancy?
Even though the Oppo Abdominal Binder is made of lightweight elastic and is highly comfortable, it is not suitable to wear during pregnancy. If you're looking for a belly belt that is suitable as support during and after pregnancy, we recommend the Belly Bandit 2-in-1 Post-Pregnancy Belly Belt, or the Belly Bandit Upsie Belly Belt for support during pregnancy.
Will the Oppo Abdominal Binder Help with My Hernia?
Absolutely, the Oppo Abdominal Support is excellent for abdominal strains and weakness, including hernia. Abdominal binders provide comfortable compression and support for the area, help to relieve pain and make physical activity more comfortable.
