Juzo Ulcer System Gebrauchsanweisung Seite 5

use both hands to stretch the foot opening and slip the foot
portion over the foot to the instep. Make sure the knitted
heel area is located on your heel. When putting on the liner
stocking, please make sure that the toe seam is located on
the outside. This protects the sensitive skin in the toe area.
2. Gradually slip the 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. Coloured markings on the instep and heel help you to
position the stocking correctly.
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 cover 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 cover 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 cover stocking is located approx. 2 cm
below the liner stocking.
7. Finally, remove the Juzo Slippie donning aid by pulling it
forwards out of the foot portion.
8. Juzo Ulcer System treatment set after being put on.
Taking off the stockings (figs. 9 – 10)
Do not take both stockings off at the same time, instead first
fold down the cover stocking, then pull it down over the calf
and carefully over the heel, instep and foot. Once you have
taken off the cover stocking completely, repeat these steps to
take off the 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 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. 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. The sewn-in textile label (if
present) is important for the identification and traceability of
the product. We therefore ask you not to remove the label
under any circumstances.
Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile label sewn into
your compression garment. We recommend turning compres-
sion 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.
Material composition
For precise details, please see the textile label sewn into your
compression garment.
Storage information and shelf life
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight. Standard prod-
ucts have a maximum shelf life of 36 months. The compression
garment then has a usage period of 6 months. The usage
period depends on correct handling (e.g. care, donning and
doffing) and normal use of the products. The usage period of
the medical product is printed on the box with an hourglass
symbol. After the 6-month usage period, body measurements
must be re-checked by a medical specialist. In the event of
significant changes in measurements of the body part that
is being treated (e.g. based on therapeutic success, weight
change), re-measurement and supply of a new product may
be required earlier, before the 6-month usage period comes
to an end.
