When to start using abdominal binder
How To Properly Use an Abdominal Binder After Surgery
hi I'm Denise at PR ma and this is I'm
teary coochie deep sea journey you guys
might know me from some of that so we're
going to briefly discuss or briefly show
you guys how to place how to correctly
place the abdominal binder after surgery
so I had fat grafting done yesterday and
that's why I still have on my surgical
bra and Denise is going to walk us
through how to get the abdominal binder
on because actually use it for phase 1
and phase 2 and I still have a scratchy
voice from anesthesia yesterday so use
my voice so this is what the binder
looks like this is the front this is the
back and if you can see there's a curve
towards the bottom so you want to
remember that that curve should stay on
the bottom and the panel have the binder
I'm sorry has three different panels a G
and C and you'll know that a goes to a B
to B C to C the 8 panel and Denise does
it matter if this tag is in or out it
should be out excellent that is correct
so we can tag the curve on the bottom
with the tag to the outside and the a
panel will come right across right on
top of her abdominal incision so that
you carry so then it's held with velcro
and there are notations on here to match
a to a so that's how look in the front
and here's how look in the back so C
curve to the bottom and have you turn to
the front
and how about snugness Denise lit
environment it should be pretty
comfortable you should feel secure it
shouldn't be too tight that you can't
breathe but you definitely will feel
better having it on the B panel which
you can see here will come slightly
below so a abdominal be below okay and
again they're marked with the letters
and then si will come towards the chest
so see if your just so and so you will
find that as you go through the day the
binder won't move a bit so you'll have
to reposition it and you should wear
this 24/7 except when in the shower and
your nurse will direct you as to when
you can switch into a different
supportive garment so I think hopefully
this will give you some guidance and
some reassurance as to how the binder is
placed if you have any questions always
contact your nurse
