Double Gutter Tights Aid with Two Handles
Getting changed in the morning can be physically challenging for many patients, meaning they have to rely on carers, compromising their independence. The Double Gutter Tights Aid with Two Handles make it easier for patients to don tights without risking injury by bending, making dressing easier for people with limited mobility or motor skills. Perfect for sufferers of arthritis and similar joint conditions, this dressing aid keeps elderly and disabled patients safe and comfortable while freeing up time for their carers.

How Does the Tights Aid Work?
This dressing aid features a polypropylene plastic core with two handles, one on either side. To use it, the patient needs to bend the plastic base around the back of their leg (with their tights attached) and slide the tights up their leg using the cord handles. The aid can then be slipped off once it secures the perfect fit, allowing patients to go about their day.
Who Can Use the Tights Aid?
Easy and straightforward to use, the Tights Aid is ideal for anybody who struggles to put their own tights on unassisted. As it can be easily shaped to take the shape of the tights, it is versatile in its range of use and is suitable for individuals with the use of only one hand. The large-loop handles also make the tights aid ideal for those with weakened grasp or who have difficulty gripping.
Ideal for Travelling
As the Tights Aid is lightweight and compact in size, it is great for adding to a suitcase or handbag when travelling on holiday or going to visit friends and family. The polypropylene can be flattened out to reduce its size even more, making it the perfect solution for people who regularly travel.
