Offering one of the largest variety of compression stockings in the industry, Juzo provides products that are ideal for every lifestyle and specialized need.

Fibersoft:

A special manufacturing process exclusive to Juzo, Fibersoft micro-spins every elastic fiber with soft protective threads. This innovative, high tech process is used in Juzo garments to:

• Provide a soft, protective layer between the skin and the elastic fiber
• Improve breathability for wearing comfort
• Allow the garment to glide over the skin for easy application
• Regulate the stretch of the elastic fiber to prevent over-stretching
• Improve the durability of the compression garment

Lycra:

All Juzo compression garments are made with Lycra. Along with the two-way stretch elasticity, Lycra maximizes wearing comfort and allows the garment to move with you throughout the day.

When to take measurements:
It is important that the edema is at its most reduced state. Most often this is found first thing in the morning or at the end of treatment.

How to take length measurements:
Length measurements should be taken from each circumference. It is recommended that you mark the leg with a non-permanent, non-toxic marker at each circumference measurement made.

The length measurement is then taken even with the floor, along the inside of the leg, up to each circumference point.

Many factors contribute to the overall health of our legs: heredity, weight, age, diet and activity level. But itŐs the internal function of the legs that also plays an important role: calf muscles, arteries, veins, and vein valves--the internal highway of blood and oxygen flow.

Your Circulation:
The flow of blood in the veins is assisted by a series of one-way valves. The valves remain open when the blood flows toward the heart, and then closed after blood passes through. Over time, an increase in pressure can stretch the vein walls. If a vein becomes enlarged and over-stretched the valves cannot close properly, causing blood to leak back down into the lower legs, resulting in poor circulation.

If this happens you may begin to develop symptoms, such as:

• Heavy, tired, aching legs
• Swollen legs and/or ankles
• Sensation of warmth in the legs
• Tingling or cramping of the legs
• Dull or sharp pain in the calf
• Small varicose veins and spider veins
