Ring Zip Grips - These rings snap onto zippers to extend the pull tab. They are idea for people who have difficulty grasping and pulling small zipper tabs. To use, just insert the peg of the Zip Grip through the hole on the zipper, fold and press to snap shut.
Sock Assist Aids - Sock aids are perfect those who have trouble bending. They feature a flexible sock trough with a nylon lining that lets the foot slide through the trough easily. The terry cloth outer covering keeps the sock securely on the sock aid. Large loop handles are helpful for people who have a weak grasp.
Button Hooks - Button hooks are helpful for persons suffering from arthritis or other neurological impairments. The handle makes grasping this dressing aid easier for the task of buttoning clothes.
Collapsible Dressing Stick - With a collapsible dressing stick, you will eliminate the need to bend over.
Elastic Shoelaces - If you have trouble bending over, elastic shoelaces are great because they turn a lace-up shoe into a slip on shoe. You’ll never need to bend down to tie your shoes again. They allow enough stretch so your shoes can be slipped on or off without bending over.
