A study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of “Opsite” strapping for the Umblical Hernia. Opsite is a low allergy adhensive membrane, used during Surgical Operations. It also has advantages over commonly used sticking plaster, for being resistant to water and urine and also allows inspection of hernia. “Opsite” strapping was found to be effective in keeping the hernia reduced till the ring closed in 70% children below 2 years of age with umblical ring defect of 0.5 cm and above. In 11% there were skin complications of strapping. In some patient who developed minor skin abrasions, strapping was continued till the closure of ring. The abrasions healed as the strapping continued
