Ostomy Belts and Hernias

There are several types of ostomy belts.  NuHope Ostomy Supplies makes a complete line of belts designed to address hernias either as the NU-FORM Ostomy Support Belt or the Nu-Hope Original Flat Panel Ostomy Belt.
The Original Flat Panel Nu-Support Belt has a soft vinyl ring placed in a no-stretch panel.  Nu-Hope's Original Flat Panel ostomy belt is recommended for ostomy bag support and hernia prevention. For hernia prevention, ostomy pouch support, and smaller reducible hernias, the Original Flat Panel Ostomy Belt is recommended. 
The Nu-Form Support Belt that "fits like a glove" has a belt ring allowing the elastic to form around bulges and other body shapes more naturally.  For large hernias and those that no longer reduce flat, the NU-FORM Ostomy Support Belt is recommended.
Both are available in two types of material: cool comfort or regular elastic.  Also, further customization of the ostomy belt can be made by communicating with Nu-Hope Laboratories at 1-800-899-5017.

Ostomy Belts ... An Essential Ostomy Accessory

Ostomy belts are used by some ostomates.  For whatever reason some people with ostomies decide not to wear an ostomy belt.  The choice isn't quite clear because they provide added support to the body, help keep the ostomy appliance properly attached, and some every control or reduce herniation around the stoma.  There are a variety of ostomy belts:

The belts above are all unique offering varying features. Some simply attach to the ostomy pouch with a basic hook attachment while others have a panel that conforms and supports the stoma and peristomal area as well as the ostomy appliance.
