Abdominal binder

Original Editor - User:hayaa yousri

Introduction[edit | edit source]

The Elastic abdominal binder is used by clinicians to relieve pain, improve pulmonary function, and stabilize an incision to enhance wound healing. After upper abdominal surgeries widely patients suffer from restriction of respiratory function. Using of abdominal binder is useful.[1]

The elastic abdominal binder has a positive effect on abdominal postoperative pain and recovery.[2]

Evidence[edit | edit source]

Clinicians assigned randomly one hundred and nine women diagnosed with cervical,

abdominal binder

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.[2]

Indications[edit | edit source]

  • After cesarean delivery.[3]
  • Postoperative Gynecological Cancer.[2]
  • After incisional hernia repair.
  • Postoperative colonoscopy. [4]
  • Spinal cord injuries.[5]
  • Orthostatic hypotension.[6]

Types[edit | edit source]

Elastic abdominal binder and non-elastic abdominal binder. Elastic abdominal binders are more helpful and suitable than non-elastic binders after surgeries.[7]
