URIEL HERNIA BELT REVIEW
The Uriel hernia belt was one of many trusses that I tried while looking for something that would fit my active lifestyle. Firstly, I needed something comfortable enough to wear all day every day and would allow me to continue doing the activities I love without having to hold back. Secondly, as an avid surfer and an all-around active person, I did not want to have the hernia on my mind every minute of the day. With those things in mind, I gave the Meditex Uriel hernia belt a try, and this is what I thought of it.
Meditex Uriel Hernia Belt Pros List:
- Fairly basic design
- Soft Fabric on the inside of the pad
- Quality sewing and seams
Meditex Uriel Hernia Belt Cons List:
- Bulky
- Not functional to wear in water since it’s made with heavy elastic bands
- convex pad digs into the hernia site causing severe discomfort
- Limited adjustability on leg and waist strap

Conclusion:
As you can probably tell, the Uriel Hernia Belt was very disappointing for me. I could not wear it for more than about a half hour due to the pad being hard and convex. Consequently, it would dig into the hernia site and cause pain after a short time. I couldn’t surf with the belt on because the pad is so large. I would not be able to paddle on the surfboard without jamming it into the hernia site even more.
The waist straps are extremely bulky. This makes it very uncomfortable and unappealing to look at when I would take my shirt off. There was very limited adjustability on the waist and leg straps, so if I needed more pressure while doing activities I was not able to tighten them up.
