Introduction[edit | edit source]

ABs are a noninvasive application in clinical practice to the reduction of postoperative pain and improve physical function.[1] 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.[2]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.[3]

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.[3]

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.[4]

Indications[edit | edit source]

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.[9]

Physiotherapy[edit | edit source]

D. MacLean adds an abdominal binder in the chest physical therapy for intubated patients in ICU who are unable to cough. Voluntary cough is correlated with high expiratory airflow with contraction of the rib cage and abdominal muscles .when add 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.[10]

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. [11]
