Product Details

Thuasne Ortel Hernia Truss

Suffering from a hernia can cause a great deal of pain in the area. Whether you're waiting to get surgery on the condition or you've already undergone surgery, using a support to protect your waist is important to prevent further damage. The Thuasne Ortel Hernia Truss has been designed to protect and support the hernia and has an adjustable groin strap for improved stability.

Key Features and Benefits

  • Truss for reducible inguinal hernias
  • Right or left adjustment system on unilateral version
  • Unilateral model has a unique buckle system for improved fit
  • Comfortable and effective
  • Has removable and repositionable silicone pads
  • Available in either a unilateral or bilateral version
  • Can be used for pre or post-operative support

How Can the Thuasne Henia Truss Help You?

The Ortel Hernia Truss has been designed for the following conditions:

  • Reducible inguinal hernias
  • Pre-operative support
  • Post-operative support

What's the Difference Between the Unilateral and Bilateral Versions?

While the unilateral model of the Ortel Hernia Truss has been designed for those suffering from a single hernia, the bilateral model has been created for those with a double hernia. A double hernia is where you're suffering from the condition on both sides of your body, whereas a single hernia is where the condition is only present on one side.

While the unilateral version of the Hernia Truss only has one groin strap that can be placed on the left or right side, the bilateral version has two straps. In both models, the straps can be adjusted to ensure you remain comfortable throughout use.

Sizing of the Ortel Hernia Belt

Both the unilateral and the bilateral versions of the support are available in four different sizes. To find out which size will fit and support you best, measure the circumference of your waist level with your navel (belly button) and consult the table below.

Size Waist Circumference (cm)
Small 75 - 85cm
Medium 86 - 97cm
Large 98 - 110cm
Extra Large 111 - 125cm

Helpful support team when I had a query about the product. I was originally prescribed this by NHS because surgery is inappropriate in my case so have been using them for years and the original ones are suffering wear.

Having browsed the many other options available from a popular online supplier and read the reviews, I could instantly see how this truss would be different from them, and properly made, even just from the picture. I wasn't dissapointed.
Pros: it is firm-fitting, doesn't move about, giving good confidence.
The securing buckle is firm and ensures it's the same fit every time.
Cons: as other reviews of this truss have commented, the rear securing of the under-the-thigh strap has a surplus length flapping - perhaps allowing for a larger fit (I'm a small size). This I cut off.
But the remaining velcro part was a bit scratchy, so I fashioned a narrow elastic sock from an old Anti-Embolism Stocking, and slid this over it.
The supplied domed pad seemed to press on too small an area - my hernia sometimes seemed to push through a little beside it. So I fashioned my own pad (from a folded winter sock and Spandex cover from old swimming briefs!). This presses on a larger areea and is more comfortable.
The buckle protrudes a bit under my clothing - a flatter design would have been better.

This is my second truss belt. Works great. Very comfortable and does exactly what's needed to relieve discomfort

Takes a bit of getting used to but a transformation from discomfort. I was a bit skeptical but I would recommend anyone with a painful hernia to try one. I can sit at a desk for hours now. Before after 30 minutes I had to stand up.

This truss does what it should, ie keeps the hernia inside, or if it sometimes doesn't, it keeps it much smaller and thus less aching than before. It has to be put together correctly and the pad in the right place to work. Only downside is the long loose piece on the thigh strap, which is now held in place less than ideally with an elastic band.

This product meets my needs. However it took some time to process the order as you were out of stock. It would be helpful to know the that at the time of ordering

Once I'd worked out how it all fits together and adjusted it properly, it has been very good - easy to use . The pad is removable unlike some similar products. I often forget that I'm wearing it and it makes life liveable
