Intended Purpose - Juzo ScarComfort Fine Mode D'emploi

EN

Intended purpose

The consistent application of uniform surface pressure by
the compression garments has a beneficial effect on scar
maturation and development. Therapeutic application of
compression garments results in decreased blood circulation
and increased tissue elasticity. The aim is to reduce the risk of
the formation of hypertrophic scars and/or keloids or achieve
a reduction in their appearance. The objective of compression
therapy is to flatten the scar, increase tissue elasticity and
reduce scar rigidity.
Notes for use
Your specialist dealer or therapist will show you how to
use it correctly. Wear your compression garments for 23
hours non-stop (or as advised by your doctor). Compression
garments offer a UPF 30 UV protection factor. The UV pro-
tection only applies to those body regions that are covered
with compression garments. Rough, unfiled finger nails or
sharp-edged rings etc. may damage the very fine knitted
fabric. Therefore please use Juzo Special Gloves. For com-
pression garments with a silicone border, please note: The
relevant part of the body should be depilated and free from
oils, powder, creams and ointments. In order to increase the
wearing comfort of your compression garments, you can
hoist the silicone border a little (if there is one) a number of
times during wearing.

into the second sleeve.

4. Do up the closure from the bottom to the top. If there are
any hooks, close them first.

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. Progressing the
success of treatment or a change in condition means that the
compression garments will have to be remeasured and, if nec-
essary, new items will need to be made. With products for small
children, the fit of the compression garments should be checked
more regularly. For neck-chin-bandages and face masks, we
also recommend regular checks for jaw growth carried out
by an orthodontist or dentist. Your compression 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. In order to guarantee hygiene and
material regeneration, where possible compression garments
should be washed daily if they are worn regularly. Do up any
fasteners before washing! We recommend turning compression
stockings with silicone borders inside out before washing. Wash
compression garments separately when washing for the first
time (they may lose colour). 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 roll-
ing the towel up and firmly pressing out excess moisture. Then
hang up the compression garment loosely. Do not leave it in the
towel and do not dry on a radiator or in the sun. Compression
garments are not suitable for dry cleaning or tumble drying.
