Abdominal supports designed to retain a reduced hernia into the abdominal cavity by pressure. These devices usually consist of fabric, plastic, or metal devices or a combination of these that support and compress mechanically the hernia preventing its expansion outside the abdominal cavity. Hernia trusses in different sizes and shapes (e.g., belts, briefs, and/or dedicated elastic supports) are available. Dedicated hernia trusses intended for scrotal, inguinal, and/or umbilical hernias are also available.
