Ostomy & Hernia Belts
We are proud to offer off the shelf and custom made ostomy and/or hernia belts to clients in on location in Central Newfoundland. Hernia belts are not just for those who have developed hernias, but they are a great preventative tool as well for clients who may have an ostomy or have weakened abdominal muscles from previous surgeries. The added pressure and reinforcement takes on some of the stress so your muscles don't have to work as hard to hold everything in the right place while helping you move.
Our Ostomy and Hernia Belt Fitting Process:
We do have some ostomy and hernia belts in store to fit clients off the shelf in standard sizes. It is recommended to call or email us to book an appointment for these fittings and for assistance.
You will be measured by a friendly staff member who has specific training and a nursing background for these garments and who will strive to ensure that you are treated with dignity and in a private manner and space. There are certain circumstances where a CUSTOM Ostomy Belt is required to best suit your specific needs, in this case the fitting will take longer, up to 45 minutes. If we need to measure and have a custom ostomy/hernia belt made you, the belt may take up to two weeks to arrive after the fitting.
We work with a Canadian company called HerniPro who have more than 10 years of experience in the sewing and designing field. Hernipro specializes in the manufacture of Ostomy and Hernia Belts, ready to wear as well as custom made. We have very specific training that Myles & Natasha, the owners of Verge of Wellness have completed to provide custom made belts.
