Sock Aid Deluxe Easy Slide No Bending | NDIS Dressing AT

Put on and take off your socks and stockings without bending down at all.

The Medibutler sock aid lets you put on and take off socks and compression stockings without bending forward or reaching down to your feet.

The grooved end holds the cuff of the sock while the long aluminium rod acts as an extension of your arm - so your foot does the work, not your back. Works for both left and right hands, and doubles as a shoehorn.

What's great about it:

·       No bending required: long aluminium rod keeps your hands at waist height.

·       Grooved tip: securely holds the sock or stocking cuff while you guide it on or off.

·       Works for both hands: suitable for left and right-handed users.

·       Doubles as a shoehorn: two functions in one tool.

·       Suitable for most round knit socks and stockings (not flat knit).

·       Saves energy: reduces effort for people who fatigue quickly during dressing.
