Storage Information - Juzo JuzoPro Epi Instrucciones De Uso

Purpose
Thanks to its shape and cushioning,
combined with a pad, the JuzoPro Epi
epicondylitis brace relieves the origin of the
hand extensor and flexor muscles at the ulnar
or radial epicondyle using compression.
Here is how to put on your JuzoPro
Epi correctly:
1. Open both straps and position the brace
on the forearm so that the pad on the
inside lies directly on the hand extensor
or flexor muscles. The position of the
pad can be changed to suit individual
preference. Its tip, however, must always
point towards the elbow. The orthosis
should now be surrounding the forearm,
opening pointing inwards, about 5 – 6 cm
away from the tip of the elbow (Fig. 1).
2. Now position the orthosis by closing the
lower strap (Fig. 2).
3. The second strap can now be closed
(Fig. 3 + 4).
The brace is positioned correctly if you can
hardly feel it when your arm is at rest and
obvious counter-pressure is exerted in the
forearm as soon as force is applied. You can
re-adjust the brace at any time by repeating
Steps 2 and 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 be realised if it is
applied correctly. The orthosis is largely
resistant to oils, ointments, skin moisture
and other environmental influences. Certain
combinations may negatively impact on
the durability of the fabric. We therefore
recommend that it gets examined regularly
by the medical products supplier. Should the
product become damaged, please consult
your specialist supplier. Do not repair the
orthosis yourself – this could compromise
its quality and medical efficacy. For hygienic
reasons, the orthosis is not suitable for
treating more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please follow the care instructions on the
textile label on your orthosis. Detach the
pressure pad and padding from the orthosis
body (velcro fastener) and wipe the body of
the orthosis with a moist cloth. The pressure
pad and padding should be washed by hand
at approx. 30 °C using a laundry detergent
for delicate fabrics. We recommend using
the mild Juzo Special Detergent for this.
Afterwards please rinse all parts well and
allow them to dry at room temperature using
a clothing rack. To reduce drying time, place
the padding in a thick towel before hanging
them up, roll them up firmly, and squeeze
tightly. Do not leave them rolled up in the
towel and do not place on a heater or in the
sun to dry. Please do not attach the pressure
pad to the orthosis until all the components
are fully dry. This product must not be dry
cleaned.
Material composition
Details are provided on the label on your
orthosis.

Notes for the orthopaedic technician
The orthosis has already been anatomically
pre-formed. Should it be necessary to shape
it, this can be performed thermoplastically.
Indications

epicondylitis (golfer's/thrower's elbow),
tendinopathies in the elbow region (tendon
problems), chronic or recurring epicondylitis,
