These illustrations show the free action of the rear or Suction Pads of the Cluthe Truss.
The sole work of these pads is to support the frame which passes around the body. They hold the Truss in position, so the Rupture Pads in front can't slip up or down or away from the rupture opening.
These pads rest against the cushion of muscles behind the hips (the muscles forming the rump). The pads are hollow on the under side. This forms a vacuum or suction, which makes slipping or displacement impossible in any position.
What We Have Done For
290,000 Others
At this writing we have treated at our Institute, over 290,000 ruptures.
These included all kinds and conditions. Some of them the worst cases in history.
Many of these people, in despair, were at the point of undergoing an operation. But the Cluthe Truss made operation unnecessary—saved the big expense—saved the terrible risk.
Among those we have fitted by mail are many infants from a few months to a few years old.
