Purpose
The JuzoFlex Malleo Xtra provides anatomical guidance
for the affected ankle, thus relieving it during movement.
Medical compressive active supports have a proprio-
ceptive effect. They improve self-perception and can
compensate for muscle imbalances. They reduce pain,
support the removal of fluids from the tissue, thanks
to their rheological effect, and provide relief during
movement.
Here is how to put on your JuzoFlex Support
correctly:
Put on your compression support while you're sitting
down to prevent injuries or falling. Rough, unfiled finger
nails or sharp-edged rings etc. may damage the fine
knitted fabric. Toe nails and calluses can cause damage,
as can defective inner lining of shoes. Grasp the support
on the upper edge and pull it over your ankle (Fig. 1 +
2). The correct fit of your support is guaranteed when it
firmly surrounds the ankle without applying too much
(potentially painful) pressure on the ankles (malleoli).
Fine adjustment of the support may be made at any time.
Please note:
Only wear your support when prescribed by your
physician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by
suitably trained staff of a medical products supplier. The
effectiveness of the support can only be guaranteed if
it is applied correctly. Although your support is largely
resistant to oils, ointments, skin moisture and other
environmental influences, the fabric and the pressure
pad can be adversely affected by certain combinations
of these factors. 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 support
yourself – this could compromise its quality and medical
efficacy. For hygienic reasons, the support is not suitable
for treating more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please note the care instructions on the textile label
sewn into your stockings. Wash the supports separately
the first time (colour may run). Your support should be
washed every day on a gentle or delicate wash cycle
(30°). 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 support on a thick tow-
el after washing, tightly rolling the towel up and firmly
pressing out excess moisture. Then hang the support up
loosely. Do not leave the product in the towel and do not
dry it on a radiator or in the sun. Juzo supports are not
suitable for dry cleaning. The support is not suitable for
tumble drying.
