Product information
ELANEE support belt is an orthopedic belt for the relief of back or pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women and for stabilization of the abdominal wall after birth.
Thanks to the stepless Velcro closure, the support belt is individually adjustable and can be used throughout pregnancy and after birth. With the help of the two elastic bands, the supporting effect can be adjusted to the personal need for comfort and stability. The incorporated rods in the wide back band provide additional stabilization.
Our support belt is available in four sizes: S, M, L and XL.

It is important that the support belt is used in the correct size and placed correctly to achieve the best possible support effect.
The following steps should be followed when putting on the support belt:
Graphic 1:
Open the support belt by undoing the Velcro fastener. Place the support belt with the large support surface at the level of the lower back and close the belt with the right end over the left end under the abdomen. The arrow on the label should point upwards. At the same time, close the Velcro fastener as tightly as possible so that you still feel comfortable.
Graphic 2:
Take the two elastic bands in your hands at the same time and tighten them as evenly as possible so that no folds of fabric form that could trigger a feeling of pressure. Attach the elastic bands to the Velcro fastener provided so that you achieve a support effect that is comfortable for you.
