medi circaid juxtafit essentials lower leg Mode D'emploi page 5

Important information for practitio-
ners and patients:
Please note it is recommended that the
limb is always treated in its entirety
with medical compression.
This means that compression products
for the leg begin at the foot or the ankle
and extend up to below the hollow of
the knee or beyond to include the thigh.
For a variety of reasons, the compressi-
on garment may be divided into
individual segments, e.g. for production
reasons, to enhance treatment,
compliance, or for easier handling.
A compression garment exclusively for
the upper leg or knee for the indications
listed is only appropriate when used
under the direct supervision and on the
recommendation of a Physician. In
certain circumstances where improperly
prescribed or applied, a partial limb
compression can damage the patient's
health or lead to constriction or stasis.
Pictures of products that, for instance,
show a compression garment on the
thigh only are, in this case, solely for the
sake of clarity (product details, pattern,
attachment, clear illustration of donning
and doffing), and are not a guide to
medical/therapeutic care.
