Custom Made Hernia Trusses & Belts
Did you know, Lakeland Orthotics are the only UK manufacturer of spring trusses! We supply the the NHS, trade and direct to customers and are one of the industry leaders in hernia truss manufacturing.
Our spring trusses are made to the fitter’s instruction for the ultimate fit and patient compliance. The spring is made from British steel which is shaped and tempered to create a memory spring which conforms to the body. This shaping process and slight malleability property of the steel spring helps provide an accurate and comfortable fit to the patient and allows for slight adjustments of fit.
A pad or pads are made and fitted to the spring according to the patient’s requirements. The 3-dimensional pads are shaped to create a direct pressure to the hernia site. These are available in a variety of sizes and shapes to create the best coverage required. Our spring trusses are available in single or double and as an inguinal, scrotal or femoral hernia support.
In addition to spring trusses we also manufacturer and fit the increasingly popular elastic truss. These trusses have a waistband that supplies inward pressure and an under-strap that creates upward pressure by turning the pad into the body. Our elastic trusses are also available in single or double and as an inguinal, scrotal, femoral and umbilical hernia support, and in a variety of sizes.
Our hernia supports are designed to be worn against the skin and conform to BS standards. Replacement items for all our trusses inc. bands, pads, screws, straps, runners available here too.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Since there are various types of hernias and a variety of trusses designed to support them, professional medical advice should always be sought before wearing a truss. We cannot provide fitting instructions as these should be provided by a professional before use. Any special instructions should be provided when ordering, please visit the drop down additional info section 'How to Order' or contact us for more information.
If you want advice about a truss, or would like a truss fitted, you can book an appointment to see an orthotist at our clinic.
