Storage Information - Juzo Pro Rhizo Xtec Soft Gebrauchsanweisung

Purpose
The JuzoPro Rhizo Xtec Soft, made of inelastic ma-
terials with adjustable reinforcing elements, immo-
bilises the carpometacarpal joint of the thumb, thus
relieving it.
Instructions for fitting your JuzoPro Rhizo
Xtec Soft correctly:
1. Open both velcro fastenings and pull the tabs
through the holes until the velcro fastenings are
level with the holes (do not open up completely!).
2. Now place your hand into the orthosis. Your thumb
should go through the upper tab. The two cut-outs
should be on the outer surface of your thumb (Fig.
1 and 2).
3. First close the lower tab followed by the tab sur-
rounding the thumb (Fig. 3).
The orthosis is fitted correctly if it surrounds the met-
acarpus and the carpometacarpal (basal) joint of the
thumb firmly and without putting too much (painful)
pressure on either area (Fig. 4).
You can adjust the orthosis at any time by repeating
step 3.
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 really be
guaranteed if it is applied correctly. Should the prod-
uct become damaged, please consult your specialist
supplier. Do not repair the orthosis yourself – this
could compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons and as the orthosis is an indi-
vidually tailored product, it is not suitable for use by
more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please observe the care instructions on the interior
surface of the product. When washing the support
for the first time, please wash separately (colour may
run). The tabs may be pulled right through the holes
in order to allow easier cleaning. Hand wash only in
a mild detergent at approx. 30 °C. We recommend
using the mild Juzo Special Detergent for this. After
washing, rinse the orthosis well and leave it to dry
at room temperature. In order to reduce the drying
time the orthosis may be placed on a thick terry towel
and dabbed dry. Do not bend the stabilising support
frame. Do not leave in a towel and do not dry the
support on the radiator or in direct sunlight. This Juzo
product should not be dry-cleaned.
Material composition
Details are provided on the label sewn into your or-
thosis.
Notes for orthopaedic technicians
The built-in stabilising frame is made of aluminium
and has been anatomically formed into shape. It may,
if required, be adjusted and reformed.
