The Cluthe Truss soon overcomes such complications. We have countless letters—from people formerly suffering from such troubles brought on by wrong trusses—telling how the Cluthe Truss has given them a new lease on life—made them feel many years younger.
Among patients who came to us wearing spring trusses, we have often found evidence of injury to the spine.
For such trusses press against the spine—the delicate center of the nervous system—just as cruelly as they dig into the abdomen and the pelvic bone in front.
And frequently, when patients came to us wearing belt trusses, we have found the tender skin all cut and bruised where the belt fits around the body. And nearly always the cruel leg-straps had made the wearer's legs raw and sore.
The sufferer who wears a truss like these can scarcely have a moment's comfort.
Thousands of belt and spring trusses have been thrown away by new patients at our Institute, after we had fitted them with Cluthe Trusses.
And among all these discarded trusses we have never found one that could be properly adjusted—the pressure couldn't be properly regulated.
There is by far too much pressure at times when only slight pressure is needed.
And, at times of strain, when more pressure is needed, there is no increase in pressure to meet that need.
This unregulated pressure tends to stretch the weakened muscles at the point of rupture—distends and enlarges the opening.
