Contraindications - Juzo Pro Patella Xtec Plus Gebrauchsanweisung

Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile label
on your orthosis. Remove the patellar strap, close
the touch fastener and wash the orthosis on a gen-
tle or delicate wash cycle at approx. 30°C. Wash the
orthosis separately when washing for the first time
(it may lose colour). When hand washing, please
rinse the orthosis well and leave it to dry - lying
down if possible - at room temperature. Do not
wring it out. We recommend using the gentle Juzo
special detergent for this. You can reduce the drying
time by placing the orthosis on a thick towel, rolling
the towel up tightly and firmly pressing out excess
moisture. Do not leave the product in the towel and
do not dry it on a radiator or in the sun. Please do not
fasten the patellar strap to the orthosis again until
the orthosis is completely dry. This product is not
suitable for dry cleaning. You can wash the patellar
strap by hand.
