Purpose
The JuzoFlex Malleo Xtra Strong provides anatomical guidance for the affected ankle, thus relieving it during movement. Medical compressive active supports have a proprioceptive effect. They improve self-perception and can compensate for muscle imbalances. They reduce pain, support the removal of fluids from the tissue, thanks to their rheological effect, and provide relief during movement. 
Here’s how to put on your JuzoFlex Malleo Xtra Strong correctly: 
1. Open all the straps and pull it over your ankle so that strap I is located on the inside, and straps II and III on the outside of your foot (Fig. 1).
2. Now run strap I diagonally across your foot arch and attach it to the velcro area provided. Please ensure that your foot remains at a 90° angle to your calf while doing so (Fig. 2).
3. Now attach strap II under tension to strap I on the outside (Fig. 3) and then run strap III diagonally, in the opposite direction to strap I, around the ankle, over strap II and then fasten it onto strap I (Figs. 4 + 5). The ankle support is fitted correctly if it stabilizes the ankle. Please ensure the straps do not have a constrictive effect and do not exert a too strong (painful) pressure on the ankle. The straps can be readjusted at any time by repeating steps 2 and 3 above. Please bear in mind that rough, unfiled fingernails, toenails, calluses and shoe linings can cause damage. 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 effectiveness of the support can only be guaranteed if it is applied correctly. Although your support is largely resistant to oils, ointments, skin moisture and other environmental influences, the fabric as well as worked in pressure pads can be adversely affected by certain combinations of these factors. 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 support yourself – this could compromise its quality and medical efficacy.
For hygienic reasons, the support is not suitable for treating more than one patient.
Washing and care instructions

When hand washing, rinse well and do not wring. We recommend the gentle Juzo Special Detergent.
