  - Includes removable left and right foam pads
  - If treating a single hernia, remove the unneeded pad from the support
  - Unhook the leg straps from the base and undo one side of the waistband
  - Position the support and pad on the affected area and fasten the waist strap
  - Adjust both sides of the waist strap evenly
  - Pull the waistband to obtain desired position and compression
  - Pass the leg straps through the legs and through the loop buckle on the front of the base, secure the hook and loop closure on the leg strap
  - Ensure the leg straps are comfortable and not twisted
  - To remove, undo one side of the waist strap and step out of the support like trousers, with the leg straps still securely fastened
• Care:
  - Remove the pads
  - Handwash in cold water with mild soap
  - Wrap in a towel to remove excess water (do not twist or wring)
  - Air dry away from heat
  - Do not tumble dry
  - Do not bleach
• Caution:
  - Wear as recommended
  - Always consult a physician when encountering persistent pain, discomfort, inflammation, or swelling
  - Use this product only under the supervision of your physician and only for REDUCIBLE hernias (can be pushed back)
  - Inspect your hernia daily to ensure it is not becoming infected or developing into a more serious non-reducible hernia
  - Remove the hernia belt and check the area frequently
  - A non-reducible hernia can become life-threatening if part of the intestine gets trapped or "strangulated" in the opening
  - A strangulated hernia is an emergency situation that usually requires immediate medical attention
