Pannus support
Abdominal Pannus Support The pannus ( panniculous) is abdominal pannus is the area of excess skin and fat that hangs over the pubic region . There is different stages. Please see our stage chart for more information. Because there is different stages we have created different types of support. There is five stages or grades.
- Grade 1 panniculus will just cover the pubic hair line, up to the mons pubis
- Grade 2 fully covers the genitals
- Grade 3 extends enough to cover the upper thigh
- Grade 4 reaches down to the mid-thigh
- Grade 5 covers the knees or even lower
At present our support goals are to lift the pannus and provide compression to the pannus. All supports are custom for now. A measurement form will need to be filled out. And a medical person such as a therapist nurse, physician will need to do the referring and the measurments.
