Maternity belt
Intended purpose
protect.Maternity belt is a brace for
stabilising the lumbar spine using
pressure that can be applied at different
levels.
Indications
All indications which require
stabilisation of the lumbar vertebrae
with a range of pressure levels, such as:
• Pain in the lumbar region during
pregnancy
• Complaints due to the abdomen
growing
• Hyperlordosis due to pregnancy
• Lower back pain
• Lumbago combined with sciatica
Contraindications
Inguinal hernia
Risks / Side Effects
If the aids are too tight, this can cause
local pressure sores or constriction of
blood vessels or nerves. Therefore you
should consult the doctor treating you
before you use it if the following
circumstances apply to you:
• Condition or injury of the skin in the
area of application, particularly with
infectious indications (excessive heat,
swelling or reddening)
• Paraesthesia and circulatory disorders
(e.g. as seen in diabetes, varicose veins)
• Lymph drainage disorders – equally,
swelling of soft tissue adjacent to the
area of application which is not related
to a condition
When wearing snug-fitting aids, this can
result in localised skin inflammation or
irritation that is due to mechanical
irritation of the skin (particularly in
conjunction with sweating) or due to the
composition of the material.
Intended patient groups
Healthcare professionals should provide
care to the adults and children, applying
the available information on the
measurements/sizes and necessary
functions/indications and in line with
the information provided by the
manufacturer, and acting under their
own responsibility.
Instructions for putting on
Please wash before first use.

hips and position it so that the
stabilisation roads are located over
your spine in the middle of your lower
back. Next fasten the two ends at the

Make sure that the belt is positioned
well and does not bother you when
walking or sitting.

you reach the desired level of tension.
Using the Velcro fastening, gently
press the straps to attach them to the
belt.
