Intended purpose
The JuzoFlex Genu Xtra provides anatomical guidance
for the affected knee joint, thus relieving it during
movement. Medical compressive active supports have
a proprioceptive effect. They improve self-perception
and can compensate for muscle imbalances. They
alleviate pain and support the removal of fluids from
the tissue, thanks to their rheological effect.
How to put on the product correctly:
Put on your support while sitting down to prevent
injuries or falling.
1. Pull the knee support over your forefoot up to the
right place on your knee.
2. Then position the knee support so that the patella
(kneecap) is enclosed by the patella pad.
The correct fit of your support is guaranteed when
it surrounds the knee without applying too much
(painful) pressure. You can re-adjust the support by
repeating step 2 at any time.
Caution: rough, unfiled finger nails or sharpedged
rings etc. may damage the knitted fabric.
Please note:
Only wear your support when prescribed by your
physician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by
suitably trained staff of a medical products supplier.
The support can only be fully effective when it has
been put on correctly and is being worn in accordance
with treatment recommendations. The support 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 be examined regularly
by the medical products supplier. Should the product
become damaged, please consult your specialist
supplier. Do not repair the support yourself – this
could compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons, the support 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 note the care instructions on the textile
label sewn into your stockings. Wash the supports
separately the first time (colour may run). Your support
should be washed every day or between uses on a
gentle or delicate wash cycle (30 °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 support on a thick towel
after washing, tightly rolling the towel up and firmly
pressing out excess moisture. Then hang the support
up loosely. Do not leave the product in the towel and
do not dry it on a radiator or in the sun. Juzo supports
are not suitable for dry cleaning. The support is not
suitable for tumble drying.
Material composition
For precise details, please see the textile label that is
sewn into your product.
Storage information and shelf life
The medical retailer or doctor prescribing the support
will recommend exactly how long it should be used
for. If the product is being worn and washed every
day, its maximum usage duration will be 6 months. If
the product is used on an irregular basis, the wearing
duration will be longer, up to a maximum of 12 months.
Based on individual use, product wear may differ. We
therefore recommend that the product is checked by a
medical specialist in the event of suspected changes.
Store the product in a dry place and protect it from
sunlight. Supports have a maximum shelf life of 42
months. The usage duration of the medical product
is printed on the box with an hourglass symbol. Body
