  • Patent number: 6537132
    Abstract: A maternity brace for providing support to the vulval and abdominal regions of a pregnant woman. The maternity brace has a central vulval panel and a pair of front and rear straps attached thereto. A body-encircling adjusting belt is in communication with the front and rear straps. An abdominal panel positioned between the two front straps applies a supporting force to the abdomen. A back panel along the back of the adjusting belt imparts stability to the lower back. The front and rear straps may be nonlinear to add comfort and support. Wearing the maternity brace improves the overall well-being of an expectant mother and helps to prevent varicose veins, stretch marks, back pain, cystocele, rectocele, hemorrhoids, increased wear on knee and hip joints, reduced blood circulation, and overall fatigue.
