The ORTONYX 10.25" Abdominal Binder: Built for Real Recovery
Whether you're recovering from surgery, managing a hernia, or seeking reliable postpartum support, the right abdominal binder can make a meaningful difference in your daily comfort and healing progress. The ORTONYX 10.25" Abdominal Binder is one of our most popular products—and for good reason.
Key Features
- 10.25-inch coverage — Supports the full abdomen and lower back area
- Integrated plastic stays — Prevents rolling and bunching during movement
- Plush inner lining — Soft against sensitive or post-surgical skin
- Full-length hook-and-loop closure — Easy self-application with precise compression control
- Unisex sizing — Designed to fit a wide range of body types
- Low-profile design — Discreet under everyday clothing
Materials & Construction
The ORTONYX 10.25" binder is constructed from 39% Cotton, 34% Polyester, and 27% Elastane—a blend specifically chosen for medical support garments:
- Cotton provides breathability and a soft hand-feel against skin
- Polyester adds durability and helps the binder maintain its shape
- Elastane delivers consistent, comfortable compression that moves with you
The integrated plastic stays are a standout feature. Unlike binders that roll up or bunch during normal activity, the stays maintain the binder's shape and position throughout the day—a common frustration solved.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I wear this binder after a C-section?
Yes. Many C-section patients find the 10.25" binder provides excellent incision support and pain reduction during recovery. Wait for your surgeon's approval before beginning use—typically 1–2 weeks post-delivery.
Will this help with my umbilical hernia?
The 10.25" binder provides general abdominal compression that many hernia patients find helpful. For targeted umbilical hernia support with a built-in pressure pad, consider the ORTONYX Umbilical Hernia Belt designed specifically for that purpose.
How long should I wear the binder each day?
Follow your surgeon's or healthcare provider's specific instructions. Generally, post-surgical patients wear their binder during waking hours for the first several weeks, then gradually reduce usage as healing progresses.
Can I sleep in this binder?
Some patients wear their binder during sleep, especially in the early post-surgical period. Loosen the compression slightly for nighttime comfort. Follow your doctor's recommendations for your specific situation.
Individual experiences vary. Always consult with your healthcare provider before using any medical support device to ensure it's appropriate for your condition.
