Intended Purpose; Material Composition - Juzo Ulcer Pro Instructions For Use Manual

Intended purpose

The Juzo Ulcer Pro treatment set is a medical compression
stocking system for the treatment of crural ulcers (Ulcus
cruris) and contains two compression stockings that are
used in combination with one another. The Juzo Ulcer
Pro treatment set comprises a beige stocking (Juzo Ulcer
Expert) and two white liner stockings (Juzo Ulcer Liner)
that are used in alternation* and serve to hold in place
the wound dressing or bandage. When putting on the
Juzo Ulcer Liner, make sure there are no creases in it and
the bandage or wound dressing doesn't slip. These two
stocking components may be used as follows: The liner
stocking can be worn day and night on the affected leg
for continuous compression. The beige stocking is worn
on top of the liner stocking during the day to increase the
level of compression.
Notes for use
Put on your compression garments in the morning straight
after you get out of bed. Put on and put of your compres-
sion garment while sitting down to prevent injuries or
falling. Rough, unfiled finger nails or sharp-edged rings
etc. may damage the very fine knitted fabric. We therefore
recommend the use of Juzo special gloves. Toe nails and
calluses can cause damage, as can defective inner lining
of shoes.
Putting on the stockings (figs. 1 – 8)
1. To put on the white liner stocking, roll the stocking over
your forearm and continue to grasp the foot area with
your fingers from the inside while doing so. Pull the
stocking off your forearm to turn it inside out down to
the heel. Now use both hands to stretch the foot open-
ing and slip the foot portion over the foot to the instep.
Make sure the knitted heel area is located on your heel.
2. Gradually slip the white liner stocking over your foot –
thereby turning it the right way round again.
3. Now pull up the stocking evenly and creasefree –
without twisting it or pulling on the top band – and use
the flat of your hand to shape the stocking to your leg.
If you pull the stocking up too far, simply slide it back
down to your ankle and slip it up your leg again with less
tension this time.
4. Now pull the enclosed Juzo Slippie Donning Aid over the
foot until the shorter tab is located over your instep and
the longer tab is located on the sole of your foot.
5. Next pull the beige stocking over the Juzo Slippie
Donning Aid until the knitted heel area is located on
your heel. While doing so, make sure that the end of
the donning aid continues to extend out the front of the
stocking opening in the toe area.
6. Next slide the stocking upwards in sections towards
the knee while using a flat hand to shape it to your leg.
Please note that the best wearing comfort is obtained
when the top band of the beige stocking is located
approx. 2 cm below the white liner stocking.
7. Finally, remove the Juzo Slippie donning aid by pulling it
forwards out of the foot portion.
Taking off the stockings (figs. 9 – 10)
Do not take both stockings off at the same time, instead
first fold down the beige stocking, then pull it down over
the calf and carefully over the heel, instep and foot. Once
you have taken off the eige stocking completely, repeat
these steps to take off the white liner stocking.
Please note:
Only wear compression garments if they have been
prescribed by a doctor. Compression garments should only
be dispensed by properly trained staff at a medical retailer.
Your Juzo compression garments are largely resistant to
oils, ointments, skin moisture and other environmental
influences. The durability of the knitted fabric may be
affected by certain combinations of the above. This is
why it is advisable to have your compression garments
checked regularly at a medical retailer. Please contact
your specialist retailer in the event of damage. Do not
repair the product yourself – this may affect its quality and
medical effectiveness. For hygiene reasons, this product is
intended for one person only.
Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile label sewn
into your compression garment. We recommend turning
compression garments inside out before washing. Wash
compression garments separately when washing for the
first time (they may lose colour). If possible, your compres-
sion garments should be washed every day on a gentle
or delicate wash cycle (Juzo Ulcer Expert: 40 °C, Juzo
Ulcer Liner: 60 °C). Tip: a laundry net provides additional
protection for the knitted fabric. Please do not use fabric
softener! When hand washing, rinse well and do not wring.
We recommend the gentle Juzo special detergent. You can
reduce drying time by placing the compression garment
on a thick towel after washing, tightly rolling the towel up
and firmly pressing out excess moisture. Then hang up the
compression garment loosely. Do not leave the product
in the towel and do not dry it on a radiator or in the sun.
Please use the delicates setting when drying the Juzo
Ulcer Liner in the tumble dryer. The Juzo Ulcer Expert is
not suitable for tumble drying. Juzo compression garments
are not suitable for dry cleaning.
