SPN: A therapeutic medical binder is a device, usually made of cloth, that is intended for medical purposes and that can be secured by ties so that it supports the underlying part of the body or holds a dressing in place. This generic type of device includes the abdominal binder, breast binder, and perineal binder.,UMD: Binders designed to encircle and support the abdomen. These devices are usually made of wide pieces of elastic fabric with hook-and-loop closures (e.g., Velcro) for adjustment of the size of the binders. Abdominal binders are used mainly to support and compress the abdomen after abdominal surgery (e.g., liposuction) and to provide relief from pain and strain of the lower back and/or the abdomen; they can also be used to keep dressings in place. Abdominal binders are available in different sizes.
