What is a "truss"?
A truss is a supportive device used to hold and secure a hernia, which is a tissue that sticks out through a weak spot in the abdominal wall. It typically includes of a belt or wrap with a pad or cushion that applies gentle pressure to the hernia, helping to keep it in place and reduce discomfort. Trusses are designed to provide support and prevent the hernia from sticking out further, allowing individuals to maintain normal activities while waiting for surgical treatment or as an alternative to surgery in some cases. Proper fitting and use of a truss are important to ensure effective support and comfort.
