Corsinel

The Index Project

The Index Project
Copenhagen, Denmark

Many people develop a very bothersome hernia after a colostomy operation.

This was the basis for developing Corsinel – compression underwear for men and women with hernia. Both in terms of design and function Corsinel resembles underwear rather than a medical device, which is crucial for the user’s self-esteem and quality of life. Corsinel is an exemplary case of user-oriented design.

The upper part of the compression underwear supports the hernia, while the lower part is made from a softer material, which makes both dressing and undressing easy. This combination makes the underwear very flexible and comfortable in use.

Corsinel compression underwear was developed to help both men and women who have developed a hernia in connection with a colostomy operation. The Corsinel hernia support underwear is the first standardised medical device of its kind.

The Corsinel range includes many different varieties and sizes to meet the different needs of both men and women with hernia.
