Intended purpose

The JuzoPro Cervical Collar Supports stabilise the
cervical spine thanks to their contours and potential
reinforcing elements.
This is how to put on your
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. Caution:
rough, unfiled finger nails or sharp-edged rings etc.
may damage the knitted fabric.
Please note:
Only wear your orthosis when prescribed by your
physician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by
suitably trained staff of a medical products supplier.
The effectiveness of the orthosis can only be realised
if it is applied correctly. The orthosis is largely
resistant to oils, ointments, skin moisture and other
environmental influences. Certain combinations may
negatively impact on the durability of the fabric. We
therefore recommend that it gets examined regularly
by the medical products supplier. Should the product
become damaged, please consult your specialist
supplier. Do not repair the orthosis yourself – this
could compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons, the orthosis is not suitable for
treating more than one patient. The sewn-in textile
label is important for the identification and traceability
of the product. We therefore ask you not to remove the
label under any circumstances.
Washing and care instructions
Please observe the care instructions on the textile
label attached to your orthosis. Wash the orthosis sep-
arately the first time (the colour might come out). Close
the velcro fastener and wash the orthosis 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.
The orthosis is not suitable for tumble drying. This Juzo
product must not be cleaned chemically.
Material composition
The exact details can be found on the textile label on
your orthosis.
Storage information and usage duration
Store in a dry place and protect from sunlight. The
medical retailer or doctor prescribing the orthosis will
advise on exactly how long it can be used for.

Cervical syndrome, whiplash, torticollis, post-traumatic
