Product Description
What this product is and who it is for
The 1017 Trocanter Belt is a low-profile elastic hip support intended to be worn around the hips at the level of the greater trochanter. It is intended for people seeking compression and stabilization of the trochanteric / sacroiliac region — for example, patients with hip or pelvic instability, trochanteric discomfort, or those wanting additional pelvic support during recovery or daily activities.

Condition and packaging

- The product page lists the item by SKU (1017) but does not show factory packaging or a label in the image. Packaging condition is unknown.
Usage notes
- Position the belt low on the hips so it sits over the greater trochanter, then secure the hook-and-loop tab for snug, comfortable compression.
- This product is designed as a compressive support, not a rigid immobilizer. For strong restriction or post‑operative immobilization, choose a different device per clinical advice.
Limitations and who this is NOT suitable for
- Exact dimensional measurements (belt width or finished circumference for SKU 1017) are not provided on the seller page; verify fit if precise sizing is required. See warnings below.
- Not suitable as a replacement for prescription orthoses when rigid immobilization is clinically required.
Warnings
- The listing images and seller SKU identify this as a universal trochanter belt, but the product page does not publish numeric width or exact material composition for SKU 1017; buyers who require a specified belt width or a specific material (e.g., latex-free) should confirm with the seller before purchase.
If you need exact manufacturer specifications (material content, width in mm/in, or certified latex-free statements) we can request them from the supplier or match an identified branded equivalent.
