Juzo Pro Epi Mode D'emploi page 6

Purpose
Thanks to its shape and cushioning, combined
with a pad, the JuzoPro Epi epicondylitis brace
relieves the origin of the hand extensor and
flexor muscles at the ulnar or radial epicondyle
using compression.
Here is how to put on your JuzoPro
Epi correctly:
1. Open both straps and position the brace
on the forearm so that the pad on the in-
side lies directly on the hand extensor or
flexor muscles. The position of the pad can
be changed to suit individual preference.
Its tip, however, must always point towards
the elbow. The orthosis should now be
surrounding the forearm, opening pointing
inwards, about 5 – 6 cm away from the tip
of the elbow (Fig. 1).
2. Now position the orthosis by closing the
lower strap (Fig. 2).
3. The second strap can now be closed
(Fig. 3 + 4).
The brace is positioned correctly if you can
hardly feel it when your arm is at rest and
obvious counter-pressure is exerted in the
forearm as soon as force is applied. You can
re-adjust the brace at any time by repeating
Steps 2 and 3.
Please note:
Only wear your orthosis when prescribed by
your physician. Medical aids should only be
dispensed by suitably trained staff of a med-
ical products supplier. The effectiveness of
the orthosis can only be realised if it is applied
correctly. The orthosis is largely resistant to
oils, ointments, skin moisture and other envi-
ronmental influences. Certain combinations
may negatively impact on the durability of the
fabric. We therefore recommend that it gets
examined regularly by the medical products
supplier. Should the product become dam-
aged, please consult your specialist supplier.
Do not repair the orthosis yourself – this could
compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons, the orthosis is not suita-
ble for treating more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please follow the care instructions on the
textile label on your orthosis. Detach the
pressure pad and padding from the orthosis
body (velcro fastener) and wipe the body of
the orthosis with a moist cloth. The pressure
pad and padding should be washed by hand
at approx. 30 °C using a laundry detergent for
delicate fabrics. We recommend using the mild
Juzo Special Detergent for this. Afterwards
please rinse all parts well and allow them to
dry at room temperature using a clothing rack.
To reduce drying time, place the padding in a
thick towel before hanging them up, roll them
up firmly, and squeeze tightly. Do not leave
them rolled up in the towel and do not place
on a heater or in the sun to dry. Please do not
attach the pressure pad to the orthosis until
all the components are fully dry. This product
must not be dry cleaned.
