BY HER MAJESTY'S ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.
I» A T JE3 2\T T TRUSS,
WITHOUT STEEL SPRINGS,
SUITABLE FOR RIGHT, OR LEFT, AND DOUBLE HERNIA.
This truss, consisting of a plate of the form indicated in
the accompanying figure, and a belt without steel spring, will
be found to afford the best support in cases of rupture
hitherto known. The plate of the truss is so shaped as to
cover the pubic regions, and the abdominal rings so as
thoroughly to protect them, and the pads are so constructed
as to keep up any existing hernia, while on the opposite side,
no rupture can possibly occur. This great advantage peculiar
to Lindsey's Patent Truss will be found very useful in all
cases of recent and incipient hernia, as none of the painful
and injurious effects of the ordinary spring truss will be
experienced. The wearer of the new truss has perfect ease,
and in a recent case may be speedily cured by its use.
Lindsey's Patent Truss, the result of thirty years practical
experience in the treatment of rupture, has been tried in
cases of many years standing and has been found thoroughly
easy and perfectly effective. From the fact that there is no steel
spring round the body, this truss is well adapted for wearing
in the colonies and warm climates. It is extremely light, and
fitting closely to the person cannot be detected when on.
For all cases of rupture in infants and children the new
truss will answer better than any of the existing principle
trusses; affording an equal uniform pressure for both abdo-
minal rings, it effectually guards against the chance of
rupture on the side, not protected in an ordinary truss for
one side, and at the same time the pressure may gradually
be reduced, so that the child may be cured in a less period
than with the ordinary spring truss.
Lindsey's Patent Truss being adjustable cannot fail to fit ;
it is only needful to send the circumference round the body
as for an ordinary truss. The pads are of various sizes
according to the size of the body; but when specially
ordered a pad of larger size may be had.
They are of four qualities, price 15s. 6d., 21s. 6d., Stfs. 6d., 31s. 6d. each,
