Intended Purpose - Juzo ACS Light Mode D'emploi

Intended purpose

Adjustable Compression Wraps (ACW) (Juzo ACS
Light and Juzo Compression Wrap) are products
used in compression therapy. Compression therapy
accelerates venous return flow and reduces oede-
ma. As a result, in addition to treating oedema of
different origins, healing and prevention of venous
ulceration is achieved. Juzo ACS Light and Juzo
Compression wrap are adjustable compression
Wraps that are used as an alternative or in addition
to conventional compression bandages. They are
easy to put on and compression can be individually
adjusted, thanks to the touch fasteners. They are
characterised by high working pressure and can be
worn throughout the day and night.
Notes for application

Juzo ACS Light
Before you put on the product, open all touch fas-
teners. For the foot, knee and hand wrap, the hook
and loop Segments must be attached to the tabs
before you wear it for the first time. Make sure that
the label is always on the inside and the silicone
border (if there is one) is at the top. There must not
be any large folds during donning or wearing. If
required, you can increase the wrap's compression
by adjusting the tabs from the bottom to the top. All
Juzo ACS Light products can also be used without
the incorporated lining.
