The invention is a postoperative binder and method of use. The binder is mad e of relatively inelastic material that is cut to fit the patient and held in place by a plurality of tails fastened with binders. The present invention uses mechanical, rather than elastic, compression. Mechanical loads are carried over the iliac crest, by hooking the tails of the binder over the iliac crest and then bifurcating the tails for attachment to the abdominal portion of the binder. The present invention provides support of lower abdominal tissue, especially near the genitals and in the area of the peritoneum. Cut out (117) defines an anal opening in the binder. Cut outs (128, 129) define leg openings, together with tails (105, 107). End (135) of the binder is shown under and attached to the ends of tails (105, 107).</SDO AB>
