The Alpha Medical Abdominal Binder is made with 6, 8, or 10 in. wide super stretch elastic. At one end of the elastic there is a 1/8" thick X 21" long foam pad laminated (covered) with soft soothing cotton flannel. The foam pad adds rigidity, padding, and provides a non-elastic zone that helps to direct compression to the front of the abdomen. The Abdominal binder is made for many purposes and conditions; however, some of the more popular include abdominal hernia reduction, post operative, postpartum compression, after pregnancy reshaping, bariatric support, flattening and smoothing of the abdomen.Size Guide For correct size measure around the abdomen Standard: Up to 50"X-Large: 50"-62"XX-Large: 62"-74"
