Side effects
With a correct indication and implementa-
tion of compression therapy, it is a safe and
effective measure. Based on the drying ef-
fect underneath the compression product,
dry skin and flaking is to be expected regu-
larly. This can be alleviated with timely skin
care, which should be part of any compres-
sion therapy. We therefore recommend that
you care for your skin using a pH-neutral wa-
ter-in-oil emulsion (e.g. Juzo Lymph Lotion).
Otherwise, there are no known side effects
when using this product correctly. However,
if you notice any adverse changes (e.g. skin
irritation) during the prescribed use, please
consult your doctor, therapist or medical
retailer immediately. If you know you are
allergic to any product ingredients, please
consult your doctor or therapist before using
it. The manufacturer does not accept any

dents that may lead to a major deterioration
