Intended purpose

Compression therapy involves measures to apply extensive,

external pressure to treat vein problems and lymph drainage

disorders. The aim of the extensive pressure is to prevent

the formation of oedema and to support venous return and

lymph drainage. Compression garments exert an optimal

pressure gradient that gradually decreases from bottom to top.

Compression therapy is primarily used to treat vein problems

and oedema. It involves the use of compressive and elastic

double-stretch fabrics or knitted fabrics that wrap right round

the extremities. As a general rule, compression therapy is a

long-term treatment requiring appropriate products that are

used by the patients themselves when medically indicated and

on the instructions of a doctor.

Notes for use

Your specialist retailer will gladly show you the correct way to

apply the product. You can also visit juzo.com/donning for

video instructions relating to all Juzo donning aids. Put on your

compression garments in the morning straight after you get

out of bed. 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.

Compression sleeves with knitted edges or silicone

borders

1. Pull the upper half of the sleeve over the lower half of the

sleeve.

2. Roll the sleeve over your hand and continue up your arm

until the rolled-over section reaches your elbow.

3. Work the rolled section of the sleeve over your elbow and

roll it towards your shoulder bit by bit.

4. Spread out the sleeve's knitted fabric so that there are no

creases and it is securely fitted over the entire length of the

arm. If the sleeve has been put on properly, it should have

no creases and should not restrict movement.

Compression sleeves with shoulder cap and strap

or bra fastening

5. Put one part of the shoulder strap across your chest and

the other over your back. Next, fasten both ends together.

Please bear in mind that you can change the length of the

shoulder strap using the adjustor slide if it is too loose or

too tight.

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 com-

pression 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. For compres-

sion garments with a silicone border, please note that the arms

should be depilated and free from oils, powder, creams and

ointments. 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 or the printed information.

Do up any fasteners (if there are any) before washing! 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 compression garments should be washed every day on a

gentle or delicate wash cycle (40°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 in a tumble dryer (suitable for

tumble- drying: see textile label). Juzo compression garments

are not suitable for dry cleaning.
