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 com-
pression 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.
Do up any fasteners (if there are any) before washing! 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). Juzo compression garments
are not suitable for dry cleaning.

Storage information and shelf life
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight. Custom-made
products are for immediate use. Body measurements may
change based on the patient's condition and individual circum-
stances. Custom-made products are therefore designed for
a usage period of 6 months. After the 6-month usage period,
body measurements must be re-checked by a medical spe-
cialist. In the event of significant changes in measurements of
the body part that is being treated (e.g. based on therapeutic
success, weight change), re-measurement and supply of a new
product may be required earlier, before the 6-month usage
period comes to an end.
