Intended purpose

Intended the JuzoPro Malleo stabilises the ankle joint
with two rigid padded elements that are joined togeth-
er in a way that allows for flexibility and adaptability
and lie on the sides of the joint. It limits the pronation
and supination movement, i.e. the inward or outward
twisting.
This is how to put on your JuzoPro Malleo
correctly:
1. Open the two straps on the orthosis shells, fold
open the shells and lay the orthosis down on the
floor in front of you with the pads facing up.
2. Now place your heel on the piece connecting the
orthosis shells. As you do this your foot should be at
a 90° angle to your lower leg.
3. Now fold both shells around your ankle so that your
anklebones rest in the center of the corresponding
protrusions provided (Fig. 1).
4. Now pass the orthosis strap around your leg and
attach it to the hook and loop pad on the opposite
shell. Continue to wrap the strap around your leg
and then attach the hook and loop fastener located
on the end of the strap to the strap itself.
5. Repeat the previous step for the lower orthosis
strap (Fig. 2).
The correct fit of the orthosis is assured when it en-
closes the ankle tightly but does so without exerting a
too strong (painful) pressure.
The orthosis can be readjusted at any time by repeat-
ing steps 4 and 5 above.
To achieve an optimal therapy result you should
wear the orthosis over your socks while wearing
runners / shoes.
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 observe the care instructions on the textile la-
bel on your JuzoPro Malleo. Detach the pads from the
orthosis shells (hook and loop fastener) and wipe the
shells with a moist cloth. The pads should be washed
by hand at approx. 30 °C using a laundry detergent
for delicate fabrics. We recommend using the mild
Juzo Special Detergent. Afterwards please rinse out
the pads well and allow them to dry in a free-hanging
position at room temperature. To reduce the drying
time, before hanging up the pads you can place them
on a thick terry towel, roll them up tightly and squeeze
firmly. Do not leave in the towel and do not place on a
heater or in the sun to dry. The pads are not suitable
for tumble drying. Please do not reattach the pads to
the shells until they are fully dry. This Juzo product
must not be cleaned chemically.
Material composition
For specific details please refer to the textile label
sewn into your JuzoPro Malleo.
Storage information and usage duration
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight. The
medical retailer or doctor prescribing the orthosis will
advise on exactly how long it can be used for.
Notes for the orthopaedic technician
JuzoPro Malleo can be adjusted for the particular foot
width. To do so detach the pad at the sole of the foot
from the shell. You can now loosen the hook and loop
fastener and adjust the distance between the shells
as required.
