Here's how to put on your orthosis
JuzoPro Cervical Collar Support correctly:
Open the orthosis fully and place it around your
neck so that the fastener (velcro strap) is located
at the back of your neck.
When it is positioned correctly, your chin should
be embedded in the opening (recess) provided
for it.
The orthosis is especially designed for easy ad-
justability so you can accommodate the right
tightness to help stabilise the neck, and prevents
restriction.
You can re-adjust it at any time if necessary.
Purpose
The JuzoPro Cervical Collar Supports stabilise the
cervical spine thanks to their contours and poten-
tial reinforcing elements.
Please note:
· Only wear your orthosis when prescribed by
your physician.
· Medical aids should only be dispensed by suita-
bly trained staff of a medical products supplier.
· The effectiveness of the orthosis can only really
be guaranteed if it is applied correctly.
· Should the product become damaged, please
consult your specialist supplier. Do not repair
the orthosis yourself – this could compromise
its quality and medical efficacy.
· Storage: Please store in a dry place and at room
temperature.
· For hygienic reasons and as your orthosis is an
individually tailored product, it is not suitable
for use by more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please observe the care instructions on the textile
label attached to your orthosis. Wash the orthosis
separately the first time (the colour might come
out). Close the velcro fastener and wash the or-
thosis 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 out the orthosis well and
allow it to dry at room temperature. To reduce
the drying time, you can place the orthosis on a
thick terry towel and pat it dry. Do not leave in
the towel and do not place on a heater or in the
sun to dry. This Juzo product must not be cleaned
chemically.
