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:
1. 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 correct­
ly, your chin should be embedded in the opening
(recess) provided for it.
2. The orthosis is especially designed for easy adjusta­
bility so you can accommodate the right tightness to
help stabilise the neck, and prevents restriction. You
can re­adjust it at any time if necessary. Caution:
rough, unfiled finger nails or sharp­edged rings etc.
may damage the material.
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 orthosis can only be fully effective when it has
been put on correctly and is being worn in accordance
with treatment recommendations. The orthosis is
largely resistant to oils, creams, 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 sewn­in 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 separately
the first time (the colour might come out). Close the
touch fastener and handwash the orthosis with laundry
detergent for delicate fabrics every day or between uses
at approx. 30 °C. 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.
