Custom Hernia Binder with Colostomy Hole Recommendations?

This topic is about finding a comfortable and effective colostomy binder with a hernia opening. The person inquiring has been advised by their surgeon to use a hernia support binder daily, which should have a pre-cut or custom-cut hole for their colostomy pouch. They are seeking recommendations on where to buy such a binder and which brands are known for comfort and quality.

Here are some helpful suggestions and insights:

1. Start by checking with your current supplier, Byram Healthcare. They offer binders, including the lightweight NuForm model, which can be customized with a stoma opening. Make sure to provide the exact flange size. Users have noted that the Velcro is durable, making it suitable for daily activities like walking, exercising, and housework.

2. Nu-Hope Laboratories in California offers a wide range of ostomy and hernia belts and binders, which can be ordered with pre-cut or custom holes. You can explore their options on their website.

3. Convatec provides an ostomy support belt that might be covered by some insurance plans, so it's worth checking your coverage. However, Hollister does not currently offer a similar belt.

4. If insurance or supplier coverage is a concern, consider looking at retail outlets:
- Edgepark.com has a selection of ostomy binders from various brands.
- eBay can be a good place to find new ostomy binders at discounted prices.

5. For more information and user reviews, you can explore online resources:
- YouTube has videos demonstrating different binder styles and how to fit them properly.
- The SCI forum thread contains user feedback and links to vendors, which might be helpful in making a decision.
