Intended purpose

Adjustable Compression Wraps (ACW) (Juzo
ACS Light and Juzo Compression Wrap)
are products used in compression therapy.
Compression therapy accelerates venous
return flow and reduces oedema. As a result,
in addition to treating oedema of different
origins, healing and prevention of venous
ulceration is achieved.

Adjustable Compression Wraps (ACW)
Juzo ACS Light and Juzo Compression wrap
are adjustable compression Wraps that are
used as an alternative or in addition to con-
ventional compression bandages. They are
easy to put on and compression can be indi-
vidually adjusted, thanks to the touch fasten-
ers. They are characterised by high working
pressure and can be worn throughout the
day and night.
Juzo ACS Light
Before you put on the product, open all
touch fasteners. For the foot, knee and hand
wrap, the hook and loop Segments must be
attached to the tabs before you wear it for
the first time. Make sure that the label and
the silicone border (if present) are always
on the inside/at the top. There must not be
any large folds during donning or wearing. If
required, you can increase the wrap's com-
pression by adjusting the tabs from the bot-
tom to the top. All Juzo ACS Light products
can also be used without the incorporated
lining.
Juzo ACS Light foot wrap (A)
1. In order to wear the Juzo ACS Light foot
wrap in combination with the calf wrap,
please put on the calf wrap first so that
the foot wrap overlaps with it in the area
of the ankle.
2. Attach the supplied touch fasteners half-
way on the tab ends so that you can secure
the tabs from the outside.
3. Position your foot so that your heel is in the
designated opening.
4. Fasten the two small tabs around the fore-
foot, then the large tab around the ankle.
5. Now cross the supplied extender (rein-
forcement tab) diagonally over the instep
or around the ankle, depending on where
the oedema is located.
6. Check that the product exerts pleasant,
clearly noticeable compression. If you feel
pain or other problems, loosen the touch
fasteners.
Juzo ACS Light calf wrap (B)
1. Juzo ACS Light calf wraps are available in
left and right versions. The touch fasteners
are integrated into the tab ends. The sewn-
in adhesive border needs to be at the top.
2. Put your leg into the integrated lining. The
calf wrap ends at ankle level.
3. Start by closing the inner row of tabs (3 or 4
tabs, depending on size) above the ankle.
To do this, tighten the first tab around the
leg and secure it with the touch fastener.
4. Continue closing the other tabs from the
bottom to the top. The top tab should end
approximately two centimetres below the
back of the knee.
5. Proceed in the same way with the outer
row of tabs (2 or 3 tabs, depending on size).
Tip: if you find it difficult to put on the foot
and calf wrap, we suggest placing your
foot on a chair while standing. Alternative-
ly, lie on a bed and raise your legs.
