All ostomy hernia support belts are fitted with a flexible plastic ring to provide support around the stoma. Many people have found this prolongs the wear time of their ostomy flanges.
As well, the center panel has 2 to 4 layers of a flexible plastic mesh depending on how much hernia support is needed. This mesh is covered with either 100% cotton or a poly-cotton blend. Wicking fabric is an option and can be added to the back, which is also a nice soft fabric for people with sensitive skin.
The elastic band that goes around the body has a center panel made from double strength sturdy elastic, edged with a non-roll elastic that allows for comfort. No hard edges to dig into the body.
All belts have an adjustable Velcro closure with rounded edges—no sharp corners for comfort.
