Intended Purpose - Juzo Ulcer System Instrucciones De Uso

Intended purpose

The Juzo Ulcer System treatment set is a medical com-
pression stocking system for the treatment of crural ulcers
(Ulcus cruris) and contains two compression stockings
that are used in combination with one another. The Juzo
Ulcer System treatment set comprises a cover stocking
(Juzo Ulcer Dynamic) and two liner stockings (Juzo Ulcer
Liner) that are used in alternation* and serve to hold in
place the wound dressing or bandage. When putting on the
Juzo Ulcer Liner, make sure there are no creases in it and
the bandage or wound dressing doesn't slip. These two
stocking components may be used as follows: The liner
stocking can be worn day and night on the affected leg for
continuous compression. The cover stocking is worn on top
of the liner stocking during the day to increase the level of
compression.
Notes for use
For compression stockings with open toes, use the Juzo
Slippie donning aid. Your specialist retailer will be happy
to show you the correct way to use the product. You can
also visit www.juzo.com/donning for video instructions
relating to all Juzo donning aids. Put on your compression
garment in the morning straight after getting up. Put on
and put of your compression garment while sitting down
to prevent injuries or falling. Rough, unfiled finger nails or
sharp-edged rings etc. may damage the very fine knitted
fabric. We therefore recommend the use of Juzo special
gloves. Toe nails and calluses can also cause damage, as
can the defective inner lining of shoes.
Putting on the stockings (figs. 1 – 8)
1. To put on the liner stocking, roll the stocking over your
forearm and continue to grasp the foot area with your
fingers from the inside while doing so. Pull the stocking
off your forearm to turn it inside out down to the heel.
Now 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.
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.
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 compression 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.
Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile label sewn
into your compression garment or the printed information.
We recommend turning compression 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 or printed information
on the fabric). Juzo compression garments are not suitable
for dry cleaning.
