Purpose
Thanks to its compressive knitted fabric, in combi-
nation with stabilising rigid elements and optional
straps, the JuzoPro Lumbal Xtec Strong /
JuzoPro Lumbal Xtec Plus orthosis supports the
lumbar region of the back, thus relieving it during
movement.
JuzoPro Lumbal Xtec Plus: The sacral pad provides
stabilisation in the end range of motion and, thanks
to friction nubs, has a massaging effect on the
muscles.
Here's how to put on your
JuzoPro Lumbal Xtec Strong correctly:
Before putting on the orthosis, please loosen both
straps on each closure side. This makes it possible to
put on the product without having to pull.
1. To make the product easier to put on, please
use two fingers to reach into the finger pockets
attached to the closure sections.
2. Now place the orthosis around your body and
close the touch fasteners on the front of the
orthosis in the following order: First position the
left closure section on the abdomen, then place
the right closure section on top of it while applying
tension and attach them to each other.
3. Next, loosen both of the lower tensioning
elements again and pull them away from your
body at the same time. The tension level of the
orthosis can be perfectly adapted to your personal
requirements. Then secure the ends of the straps
on the closure surface as you wish.
4. Next, please carry out the same steps for both of
the upper straps.
5. The orthosis must be put on low enough or be
pulled down after donning so the lower edge of
the orthosis is just above the groin.
6. The strap length can be individually adjusted by
cutting the straps at the base of the closure.
The orthosis fits properly when it surrounds the body
without applying too much (painful) pressure. You
can readjust it at any time. Caution: Rough, unfiled
finger nails or sharp-edged rings etc. may damage
the material.

Please note:
Only wear your orthosis when prescribed by your
physician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by
suitably trained staff of a medical 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
environmental 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 damaged, 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 suitable for
treating more than one patient. The sewn-in textile
label is important for the identification and traceabili-
ty of the product. We therefore ask you not to remove
the label under any circumstances.
Washing and care instructions
Please observe the care instructions on the textile
label attached to your orthosis. Take the rear stabili-
sing girdle out of the orthosis, close the touch fasten-
ers and wash the orthosis in gentle or delicate cycle
at approx. 30 °C. Wash the orthosis separately the
first time (possibility of colour bleeding). If washing
by hand, rinse the orthosis well and allow it to dry at
room temperature. If possible, lay flat. Do not wring
it out. We recommend using the mild Juzo Special
