Sock Aid with Two Handles for Disabled Patients

Getting dressed in the morning can cause disabled and elderly patients significant stress if they are unable to do so on their own, and constantly needing a carer to help can compromise their sense of self-confidence too. The Sock Aid with Two Handle for Disabled Patients allows patients to dress themselves quickly, decreasing the need for constant supervision. With an intuitive design where a sock or stocking can be wrapped around the aid for one-handed application, this easy-to-use design can be used in beds and chairs to quickly get patients ready for the day. 

What's Included?

• 1 x Sock and Stocking Aid

Key Features

• Unique sock aid helps disabled and elderly people put socks on
• Reduces reliance on carers for patients, saving carers time
• Accommodates feet and calves of all sizes for diverse range of use
• Innovative design enables one or two-handed use for more and less disabled people
• Compatible with socks, knee-high nylons, and elastic compression stockings
• Flexible polypropylene adapts to various sock sizes and reduces rubbing

How Does the Sock Aid Work?

The Sock Aid features a polypropylene plastic core with two handles. To use it, the patient needs to bend the plastic base around the back of their leg (with their sock or stocking attached) and slide the sock 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 Sock Aid?

Easy and straightforward to use, the Sock Aid is ideal for anybody who struggles to put their own socks on unassisted. As it can be easily shaped to take the shape of the sock or stocking, 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 sock aid ideal for those with weakened grasp or who have difficulty gripping.

Ideal for Travelling

As the Sock 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.
