INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Dear Customer,

Thank you for purchasing JOBST

®

, the medical

gradient compression hosiery collection that is

recommended by physicians.

JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ is designed for maximum

patient compliance for the effective management

of venous leg ulcers. JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ is

an efficacious and easy-to-use compression

system for the management of venous leg

ulcers. JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ also helps prevent

recurrence of venous leg ulcers. Two components,

a Medical Stocking (with or without a zipper)

and a Compression Liner, provide compression

with decreasing pressure gradient from distal to

proximal.

1. Indications

The JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ compression system is

indicated for the following conditions:

• Management of venous leg ulcers after edema

reduction

• Helps prevent recurrence of venous leg ulcers

2. Contraindications

The JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ compression system

is contraindicated when any of the following

conditions are present:

• Ischemia (e.g. advanced arterial disease)

• Untreated septic phlebitis

• Uncontrolled congestive heart failure

• Phlegmasia cerulea dolens

• Incompatibility to fabric

3. Cautions

• Skin infections

• Severely compromised skin sensibility and

impaired sensitivity of the limb

• Weeping dermatoses

• Immobility (confinement to bed)

• Conditions in which increased venous and

lymphatic return is not desired.

• Open wounds must be covered with an

appropriate dressing before the compression

liner is put on.

• Appropriate foot wear must be worn when

walking to help prevent falls.

• JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ is recommended following

edema reduction by the use of short stretch

compression bandaging.

• While the Compression Liner may be worn

24 hours a day, the patient must remove the

Medical Compression Stocking during bed rest.

• The Compression Liner should be changed

in accordance with daily hygiene and wound

inspection needs.

• Appropriate hygiene and skin care should be

applied.

• After complete healing of the venous leg ulcer,

continued use of JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ or other

appropriate Medical Compression Stocking (e.g.

JOBST

®

Medical LegWear) is recommended to

help prevent recurrence.

• Medical compression garments should only

be used after consultation with your doctor

or therapist and checked regularly by them

on the appropriateness of your therapy, also

considering age and health status.

• When re-ordering a garment we recommend

remeasuring the patient as the limb

circumference might have changed.

• Incorrectly measured and badly fitting products

may cause constriction leading to e.g. skin

necrosis, pressure ulcers and pressure related

peripheral nerve damage during use.

• If you notice discomfort, pain, numbness,

changes in skin color, appearance of new wounds

or swelling during wear, stop using the product

and contact your healthcare professional.

• The attending physician decides whether

compression in general can be applied to

patients suffering from the following diseases:

rheumatoid arthritis, complex regional pain

syndrome, CRPS (M. Sudeck), malignant

lymphedema, gangrene.

• Patient measurements should be taken by a

trained person to determine the correct product

size needed and to decide whether a made-to-

measure or ready-to-wear garment is required.

Special notes:

• Caution: long fingernails and jewelry may

damage the stockings when putting them on.

For easier application use rubber gloves or a

donning aid.

• Do not bring the compression stockings into

contact with greasy ointments, body lotions

or similar substances unless recommended by

JOBST

®

.

• Loose threads or loops should not be cut off,

since this may cause holes or runs to form in the

stockings.

• Any serious incident that has occurred in

relation to this device should be reported to the

manufacturer and the competent authority of

your state.

• JOBST

®

UlcerCare™ is intended for single

patient use only.

4. Application

The best way to put on your JOBST

®

stockings:

JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ Compression Liner

Gather the Compression Liner in

both hands, so that the toes can

easily reach the end of the Liner.

Pull the Compression Liner onto the

foot, aligning the heel of the Liner

with the heel of the foot.

Gently pull the Compression Liner

up the leg, taking special care to

ease it over wound dressing.

Pull it upwards to the knee. Do not

roll down or fold the top of the

stocking.

Smooth any wrinkles and adjust the

heel and toe of the Compression

Liner for comfort.

JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ Medical Compression

Stocking without zipper

Apply the Compression Liner as

instructed above. Start with the

Medical Compression Stocking inside

out. Tuck the foot part inside up to

the heel and hold it with both hands,

seam facing down.

Stretch your garment as wide as

possible and in one motion, pull it

onto your foot. Put the heel pocket

over the back of your heel.

Take hold of the fabric just past your

toes always at the sides, never the

seams. Pull it up over your foot past

the ankle. It should now be right side

out. Adjust the garment so that the

heel is in place.

Adjust the toe area for comfort by

pulling your garment toward your

toes and releasing.

Now work it all the way to the knee

about 2" (5 cm) at a time, smoothing

the creases as you go – adjust any

wrinkles or uncomfortable spots by

gently pulling the fabric until the

pressure is even.

JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ Medical Compression

Stocking with zipper*

Apply the Compression Liner as

instructed above. Open the zipper of

the Medical Compression Stocking

completely.

Point your toes and slip your foot

into the foot area. Place your thumb

between the zipper and your leg to

protect your skin.

Zip it closed, keeping the elastic

backing between your skin and the

zipper.

Adjust any wrinkles or uncomfortable

spots by gently pulling the fabric

until the pressure is even.

* When selecting Left or Right Closure (zipper), choose

the side opposite the wound.

5. Care instructions

JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ compression system should,

if at all possible, be washed daily, or at least every

other day. For this purpose, you may use a regular

mild detergent. Do not use laundry additives such

as fabric softener, optical brightener or stain

remover. Rinse your compression stockings well.

Roll up the wet compression stockings in a towel

after washing and press out excess moisture. Do

not wring. Do not dry the compressionstockings

on a radiator or in direct sunlight. For tumble

dryer compatibility please check your

compression stocking’s product label.

6. Directions for storage / Guarantee

JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™ compression system is

intended for immediate use and no expiry date

for storage is indicated. Due to wear or slackening

of the material, the medical efficacy can be

guaranteed for a wearing period of six months.

This assumes correct handling (e.g. product care,

donning and doffing).

Please protect your JOBST

®

UlcerCARE™

compression system from direct exposure to

sunlight, heat, and moisture. We recommend

storage at room temperature. If the vascular

disease persists after 6 months, please consult

your attending physician concerning the possible

need for a new compression stocking.
