Streifeneder EpiMax Manual De Instrucciones página 6

Purpose
The EpiMax guides the affected elbow in an anatom-
ically correct way, relieving strain during movement.
Thanks to its bi-elastic knitted fabric in combination
with anatomically shaped pads, the support applies
compression, therefore promoting lymphatic drain-
age which results in reduced swelling and pain allevi-
ation. Proprioception and muscular auto-stabilisation
of the elbow associated with it are improved.
Here is how to put on your EpiMax correctly:
1. Grab the elbow support at its upper, shorter sec-
tion and pull the support over the lower arm to-
wards the elbow until the oval, patterned area is
centred in the crook of the arm.
2. The epicondyles (prominences on the distal part
of the elbow) must be located right in the cut-out
of the pressure pads. Please adjust the elbow sup-
port as required
The correct fit of your support is guaranteed when it
firmly surrounds the elbow without applying too much
(potentially painful) pressure on the epicondyles.
Fine adjustment of the elbow support may be made at
any time by repeating steps 1 and 2 above.
Please note:
Only wear your support when prescribed by your phy-
sician. Medical aids should only be dispensed by suit-
ably trained staff of a medical products supplier. The
effectiveness of the support can only be realized if it
is applied correctly. The support is largely resistant to
oils, ointments, skin moisture and other environmen-
tal influences. Certain combinations may negatively
impact on the durability of the fabric. We therefore
recommend that it be examined regularly by the med-
ical products supplier. Should the product become
damaged, please consult your specialist supplier.
Do not repair the support yourself – this could com-
promise its quality and medical efficacy. For hygienic
reasons, the support is not suitable for treating more
than one patient.
Washing and care instructions
Please note the care symbols on the textile label
which is sewn into your elbow support. Wash the sup-
port separately the first time (possibility of bleeding).
Please do not use any softener! We recommend using
the mild Juzo Special Detergent for this. To reduce the
drying time, you can place the wrist support on a thick
terry towel, roll it up tightly and squeeze it firmly. Do
not leave it in the towel and do not place it on a heater
or in the sun to dry. This Juzo product must not be
cleaned chemically.
