Pelvic Binder

Description

It is typically a wide, adjustable belt made of strong but flexible material that is wrapped firmly around the hips, just over the pelvic bones. By applying controlled compression, it helps:

• Hold the fractured pelvic bones in place

• Reduce internal bleeding by limiting pelvic volume

• Decrease pain by minimizing bone movement

• Provide temporary stabilization until definitive treatment (like surgery)

Pelvic binders are most often used in emergency and trauma care settings by paramedics, first responders, and hospitals.
