Introduction[edit | edit source]

abdominal binder

Abdominal binders (AB) are a noninvasive application in clinical practice to the reduction of postoperative pain and improve physical function.[1]

There are 2 types of abdominal binders, elastic abdominal binder and non-elastic abdominal binder. Elastic abdominal binders are more helpful and suitable than non-elastic binders after surgeries.[2]

The Elastic abdominal binder is used by clinicians to relieve pain, improve pulmonary function (After upper abdominal surgeries patients suffer from restriction of respiratory function), and stabilize an incision to enhance wound healing.

Indications[edit | edit source]

Therapeutic effect[edit | edit source]

  • Encourage early mobilization after surgery.[9]
  • Reduce pain and swelling during healing. [9]
  • Avoid postoperative discomfort. [9]
  • Affect abdominal pressure.[10]

Clinical Evidence[edit | edit source]

Some evidence presented that abdominal binders promote coughing and deep breathing after surgery and mobility. The elastic abdominal binder has a positive effect on abdominal postoperative pain and recovery.[4]

Clinicians assigned randomly one hundred and nine women diagnosed with cervical, endometrial, or ovarian cancer, who had done abdominal surgery into two groups: the intervention (56 patients) used the abdominal binder from day 1, and the control (53 patients) did not wear the binder. The primary outcomes were pain and functional recovery. The Researcher observed the intervention group significantly lower pain score than the control group.[4]

Some researchers concluded no significant difference between both groups in the surgical outcome and no difference in the number of days staying in the hospital but only a difference in the degree of comfort.[11]

Risks and Side Effects[edit | edit source]

Some abdominal binders may cause an allergic reaction with symptoms such as itching, redness, or irritation so it's better to use binders with hypoallergic materials.[12]

The question of whether abdominal binders raise the risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is up for dispute. According to this research[13], they can increase intra-abdominal pressure which may contribute to DVT. But, at the same time, abdominal binders contribute to a rapid return to function and mobility post-surgery which reduces the risk of DVT. [12]

Physiotherapy[edit | edit source]

In this research,[14]an abdominal binder was added to the chest physical therapy for intubated patients in the ICU who are unable to cough. Voluntary cough is correlated with high expiratory airflow with contraction of the rib cage and abdominal muscles when adding abdominal binder as splinting for abdominal muscle. simultaneous compression of the abdomen and chest increases the intrapleural pressure and then increases expiratory airflow than produced by chest compression alone.[14]

mostly after abdominal surgery patients wake up from anesthesia wearing an abdominal binder. Very important to get the right size of the binder. To detect your size, measure the widest part of your body. Usually for women widest part is the hips. For men, usually the waist. [12]

Application[edit | edit source]

Here are a couple of videos that can guide you on the proper application of abdominal binders.
