Storage Information - Juzo Pro Manu Xtec Palmar Manual Del Usuario

Purpose
The JuzoPro Manu Xtec Palmar, made out of inelastic
materials with adjustable, partly removeable reinforc-
ing elements, immobilises the wrist in two movement
directions (ulna / radial and dorsal / volar).
Here is how to put on your
JuzoPro Manu Xtec Palmar correctly:
1. Open all three velcro fasteners on the top and pull
the straps through the buckles as far as the hook
and loop pad (do not open fully!). Now slip your
hand into the orthosis. As you do so, insert your
thumb into the opening provided (Fig. 1).
2. First do up the middle velcro fastener, then the
strap at the back of the hand, then the fastener on
the forearm (Fig. 2).
The orthosis is fitted correctly if it securely encloses
the wrist. Please ensure the straps do not have a con-
strictive effect and do not exert a too strong (painful)
pressure on the wrist (Fig. 3).
The orthosis can be readjusted at any time by repeat-
ing step 2 above.
The stabilisation splints can be taken out and put back
in again via the slit on the side of the pocket (Fig. 4)
Please note:
Only wear your orthosis when prescribed by your
physician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by
suitably trained staff in a medical products supply
store. The effectiveness of the orthosis can only be
guaranteed if it is applied correctly. Should the prod-
uct become damaged, please consult your specialist
supplier. Do not repair the orthosis yourself – this
could compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons and because the orthosis is
individually tailored, it is not suitable for treating more
than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please observe the care instructions on the inside of
the product. Please remove the stabilising splints be-
fore washing, as illustrated in Fig. 4. Wash the orthosis
separately the first time (possibility of bleeding). For
improved cleaning results, you can remove the straps
completely. Wash the orthosis and strap 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 it out well
and allow it to dry at room tempera ture. To reduce the
drying time, you can place the orthosis on a thick terry
towel and pat it dry. Do not leave it in the towel and
do not place it on a heat er or in the sun to dry. Please
re-insert the stabilisation rods into the pockets only
when the orthosis material has dried completely. This
Juzo product must not be cleaned chemically.
Materials used
For full details, please refer to the label on the inside
of the product.
Notes for the orthopaedic technician
The integrated stabilising splints have been anatomi-
cally preshaped and can be reshaped if necessary.
