Contraindications; Side Effects - Juzo Flex Epi Xtra Mode D'emploi

Purpose
The JuzoFlex Epi Xtra guides the affected elbow in
an anatomically correct way, relieving strain during
movement. Medical compressive active supports have
a proprioceptive effect. They improve self-perception
and can compensate for muscle imbalances. They
reduce pain, support the removal of fluids from the
tissue, thanks to their rheological effect, and provide
relief during movement.
Here is how to put on your JuzoFlex Epi Xtra
correctly:
1. Grab the elbow support at its upper, shorter section
and pull the support over the lower arm towards the
elbow until the oval, patterned area is centred in
the crook of the arm.
2. The epicondyles (prominences on the distal part of
the elbow) must be located right in the cut-out of
the pressure pads. Please adjust the elbow support
as required
The correct fit of your support is guaranteed when it
firmly surrounds the elbow without applying too much
(potentially painful) pressure on the epicondyles.
Fine adjustment of the elbow support may be made
at any time by repeating steps 1 and 2 above. Caution:
rough, unfiled finger nails or sharp-edged rings etc.
may damage the knitted fabric.
Please note:
Only wear your support when prescribed by your
physician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by
suitably trained staff of a medical products supplier.
The effectiveness of the support can only be realized
if it is applied correctly. The support is largely
resistant to oils, ointments, skin moisture and other
environmental influences. Certain combinations may
negatively impact on the durability of the fabric. We
therefore recommend that it be examined regularly
by the medical products supplier. Should the product
become damaged, please consult your specialist
supplier. Do not repair the support yourself – this
could compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons, the support is not suitable for
treating more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile
label sewn into your stockings. Wash the supports
separately the first time (colour may run). Your support
should be washed every day on a gentle or delicate
wash cycle (30°). 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
support on a thick towel after washing, tightly rolling
the towel up and firmly pressing out excess moisture.
Then hang the support up loosely. Do not leave the
product in the towel and do not dry it on a radiator
or in the sun. Juzo supports are not suitable for dry
cleaning.
Material used
Details are provided on the label sewn into your wrist
support. The support is not suitable for tumble drying.
Storage information and shelf life
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight.
Supports have a maximum shelf life of 42 months. The
usage period of the medical product is printed on the
box with an hourglass symbol. Body measurements
may change based on the patient's condition and
individual circumstances. We therefore recommend
that medical specialists check body measurements
regularly.
