Intended Purpose - Juzo Easy Fit Instrucciones De Uso

Intended purpose

Juzo Easy Fit is a donning and doffing aid for medical com-
pression stockings. The donning and doffing aid is particu-
larly suitable for people with restricted mobility. It not only
simplifies the process of putting on and taking off your me-
dical compression stockings, but also gives you additional
peace of mind: by using it, you avoid strenuous bending,
and the risk of falling is reduced. The donning and doffing
aid is also gentle both on your skin and the knitted fabric
of your compression stocking. It stretches the stocking be-
forehand to make it easier to put it on. And the stocking
clasp simplifies the process of taking it off.
Notes for use
The Juzo Easy Fit donning and doffing aid is particularly
suitable for compression class 1 and 2 phlebological com-
pression stockings. Your specialist retailer will be happy
to show you the correct way to use the product. You can
also visit www.juzo.com/donning for video instructions
relating to all Juzo donning aids. Put on your compression
stocking in the morning straight after getting up. Rough,
unfiled finger nails or sharp-edged rings etc. may damage
the very fine knitted fabric. We therefore recommend the
use of Juzo special gloves. Toe nails and calluses can also
cause damage, as can the defective inner lining of shoes.
Using Juzo Easy Fit to put on your product
1. Fold the clasp back and down.
2. Pull the stocking straight. The toe should be pointing
downwards (do not turn the stocking inside out).
3. Using both hands, hold the stocking at the top and roll
the edge of the stocking over the shaft. The toe of the
stocking should be pointing away from the donning
and doffing aid.
4. Now roll the stocking over the shaft until the seam of
the heel is visible at the edge of the shaft.
5. Now sit down and hold the donning and doffing aid
handles at a slight angle. Make sure that your foot is
dry. Starting with your toes, push your foot into the
foot part of the stocking until your heel is no longer
visible.
6. Slide your foot into the foot part until your toes are
visible underneath the shaft. Now make sure the
donning and doffing aid is almost vertical: raise your
toes and apply pressure on the heel at the same
time. This rolling motion will help your foot glide into
the stocking with ease. Now firmly plant your foot on
the floor. Tip: Practise this motion sequence several
times. It will make donning easier.
7. Using the donning and doffing aid, pull the stocking
up to knee-height. Carefully push the donning aid
downwards and out of the stocking.
8. Ease the stocking towards your thigh bit by bit with
both hands. Caution: never pull on the upper edge of
the stocking when you do this! Fold over the silicone
border (if applicable) before pulling up the stocking.
Important: wear Juzo special gloves to protect the
fine knitted fabric from damage caused by finger nails,
rings etc.
9. Distribute the knitted fabric evenly up your leg,
smoothing it out with gentle strokes as you go, and
avoid creasing.
Using Juzo Easy Fit to take off your product
10. Hold the stocking with both hands and pull it down
towards your knee. Caution: never pull on the upper
edge of the stocking when you do this! Fold over the
silicone border (if applicable) before pulling down
the stocking. Important: wear Juzo special gloves to
protect the fine knitted fabric from damage caused by
finger nails, rings etc.
11. Now sit down and place your leg into the donning
and doffing aid so that your calf is touching the upper
curved edge of the shaft. Ease the top of the stocking
down over the shaft until the top of the stocking is
level with your heel.
12. Push the entire stocking down as far as the shaft will
permit.
13. Using both hands, fold the clasp up towards the shaft
until it clicks into place. The stocking is now secured.
14. Place the donning and doffing aid on the floor. Hold
both handles with your hands and, for additional
stabilisation, put the other foot on one of the lower
bars. Raise the foot with the stocking to shaft height.
The heel should be above the clasp.
15. Now pull your foot out of the stocking horizontally, pa-
rallel to the floor. Avoid pulling the foot up at an angle.
16. Open the clasp by folding it downwards. Now you
can remove the stocking easily from the donning and
doffing aid.
