The bulge isn't the only thing that changes

At first, you notice the hernia. Then you notice yourself changing around it.

You think before picking something up. You stand differently. You check the area after coughing. A normal day on your feet suddenly requires thought.

You don't just want something pressing against your groin. You want your normal day back.

That's why we created Ivalen CoreGuard™ — targeted inguinal support without wrapping your entire lower abdomen in a bulky medical appliance.

See How It Works
Standing, walking, lifting and coughing all start to feel different with a hernia

Targeted support where the problem actually is

  1. Targeted compression pad

    The padded front section provides focused external support over the inguinal area. Support where you need it, not bulk everywhere else.

  2. Adjustable compression

    The adjustable waistband lets you control how firm the support feels rather than forcing you into one fixed level of pressure.

  3. Stabilizing lower strap

    Walking, standing, sitting, bending. The stabilizing strap helps CoreGuard™ stay positioned through ordinary daily movement.

  4. Slim, low-profile fit

    Because eventually you still have to put pants over it. CoreGuard™ sits closer to the body so it's easier to conceal.

HOW TO USE

On in 3 simple steps

  1. Fasten the waistband

    Fasten the waistband

    Wrap the straps around your lower abdomen and fasten the Velcro. Then loop the thin strap from back to front and secure it firmly.

  2. Adjust the position

    Adjust the position

    Slide the waistband side to side until the pad sits over the exact position of your hernia.

  3. Place and align the pad

    Place and align the pad

    Lay the compression pad onto the mesh layer and align it with your hernia site. It should feel secure, never tight or numb.

Then get dressed and get on with your day.

Try CoreGuard Risk-Free

Built for men who still have things to do

  • The working man

    Your shift is tomorrow. The equipment still needs moving. The job still needs doing.

  • The active man

    You're not ready to give up walking, travel, gardening, home projects, or being active because a hernia showed up.

  • The man waiting for surgery

    You have a surgeon. You have a date. Unfortunately, the date is four months away.

  • The man who isn't ready for surgery

    Maybe you'll repair it later. Maybe you're still discussing your options. Either way, you still have tomorrow to get through.

Your surgery may be months away. Your life isn't.

CoreGuard™ gives you a practical external-support option for the time in between. Not a cure. Not a substitute for proper medical care. Just practical support for the days that still have to happen.

The hernia may still be there. It doesn't have to be the center of your day.

Targeted support where you need it. Less bulk where you don't. Comfortable enough to become part of your routine.

Frequently asked questions

No. CoreGuard provides external support. It does not repair the underlying abdominal-wall defect responsible for an inguinal hernia. Talk with your doctor about definitive treatment options.

Some people use external support while awaiting repair or during watchful waiting. Whether it's appropriate for you depends on your specific hernia and medical situation.

Yes. CoreGuard can be positioned for left- or right-side inguinal support.

Yes. Its lower-profile construction is specifically intended to make everyday clothing easier to wear over it.

Secure. Not painfully tight. If extreme pressure is necessary to control the area, speak with a healthcare professional instead of simply tightening the belt further.

Do not rely on a support belt for sudden severe pain, vomiting, marked redness or swelling, fever, or a bulge that becomes hard or cannot be reduced when it normally can. Seek prompt medical evaluation.

What size do I need?

Measure around the hips where the belt will sit, not around your natural waist.
