A-T Surgical Trusses & Hernia Supports

A-T Surgical Mfg Co is a longtime manufacturer of trusses and abdominal support garments used to manage inguinal and reducible hernias. Trusses aren't a cure, but for people awaiting surgery, living with a hernia that can't be operated on, or simply needing daily support, a well-fitted truss applies steady pressure over the hernia opening to help keep it comfortably in place during activity.

The right size matters more than anything with a truss, which is why fit is measured by hip or waist circumference rather than clothing size. The A-T Surgical Truss (White, Elastic, Large, Double) in this collection is built for a 38-to-42-inch measurement and features a double pad configuration for support on both sides — useful for bilateral hernias. Its elastic construction is designed to move with the body and stay in position through bending, walking, and standing.

When choosing a truss, buyers most often ask three things: what size to order, whether one or two pads are needed, and how to wear it correctly. Measure around the widest part of the hips for sizing. Choose a single pad for a one-sided hernia and a double for both sides. And a truss is typically applied while lying down, once the hernia has been gently reduced, so the pad sits over a flat, closed area. Always follow the guidance of your physician, particularly if a hernia becomes hard, painful, or can no longer be pushed back in.
