Neotech Acquires Non-Invasive Umbilical Hernia Solution

SANTA CLARITA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Neotech Products, a company that has been manufacturing innovative medical products since 1987, has announced the acquisition of the Navel Cradle Umbilical Hernia Adhesive Strap. The Navel Cradle is a proactive solution for babies with umbilical hernias, designed to support the abdominal muscles at the midline to reduce intestinal protrusion. The product was developed by Cathlyn Corrado, PT, DPT, PCS, a board-certified pediatric physical therapist and mother of three, who developed the product after her son's umbilical hernia did not improve despite the advice of his pediatrician to "wait and see."

Corrado's son developed an umbilical hernia at the age of three months. The pediatrician advised her to monitor the condition and hope it would resolve on its own. However, by the time her son was walking at 13 months, the hernia was still present and Corrado wanted an alternative to surgery. Her research and experience led to the development of the Navel Cradle, a non-invasive alternative to "wait and see" or surgery for umbilical hernias.

The Navel Cradle provides a non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments. It helps to reduce intestinal protrusion and supports natural breathing and mobility. The center of the product brings the separated tissue together, while the tails are placed on the skin in a diagonal position to facilitate the function of the internal and external obliques that cross through the umbilical area.

Neotech, the company that manufactures the Navel Cradle, has added this new product to its hospital and out-patient pediatric market offerings.

Corrado, the Senior Pediatric PT & Site Manager at the University of Rochester Medical Center, who has 16 years of experience, including five years in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, partnered with Neotech because their philosophies of empowering parents with non-invasive, proactive, and gentle interventions aligned well.
