?:definition
  • Binders designed to encircle the abdomen to provide support to the abdominal walls and keep the abdomen in the appropriate position. These devices are usually made of wide flexible pieces of elastic fabric with hook-and-loop closures (e.g., Velcro) or metal fasteners with small teeth that grab onto and secure the elastic fabric for adjustment of the size of the binders; the binders are available in several sizes. Abdominal binders are used to support and compress the abdominal muscles and other abdominal structures for rehabilitation after childbirth or abdominal surgery (e.g., liposuction); the binders may be also used by women after labor to support the relaxed abdominal walls. They may also provide relief from pain and strain.
