Important - Juzo ScarComfort Fine Mode D'emploi

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 rolling 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.
Material composition
For precise details, please see the textile label sewn into
your compression garment.
Storage information and shelf life
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight. Standard
products have a maximum shelf life of 36 months. The
compression garment then has a usage period of 6
months. The usage period depends on correct handling
(e.g. care, donning and doffing) and normal use of the
products. The usage period of the medical product
is printed on the package with an hourglass symbol.
Custom-made products are for immediate use. Body
measurements may change based on the patient's
condition and individual circumstances. Custom-made
products are therefore designed for a usage period of
6 months. After the 6-month usage period, body meas-
urements must be re-checked by a medical specialist. In
the event of significant changes in measurements of the
body part that is being treated (e.g. based on therapeutic
success, weight change), re-measurement and supply
of a new product may be required earlier, before the
6-month usage period comes to an end.

Additional information for products containing
silver
As silver can deduct heat and electricity, please avoid the
direct contact with electric sources. Juzo ScarComfort
Silver should not come in contact with metals (e. g. metal
clothes hangers) when the textile is wet. The worked in
silver could be discoloured thereby. The tanning agents
used in the manufacture of the leather / man-made shoe
lining may cause discoloration of the stocking and the
silver thread in the foot area.
Additional information for Batik Collection
Each Juzo compression product with a Batik design is
unique. The colour pattern of the handmade individual
items is unique and cannot be reproduced. There
may be minor colour changes after the first wash.
The characteristic "wrinkled look" originates from the
production technique. It is only visible on the unworn
product. Owing to the special colouring technique, these
compression products are slightly longer before they
have been worn than products without a Batik design.
However, this does not have any influence on the fitting
accuracy and the medical efficacy when worn.
