Dressing Aids | Tools for Socks, Trousers & Buttons | Limited Mobility

Welcome to our vital collection of Dressing Aids and independent dressing tools. Designed for individuals with limited mobility, arthritis, back pain, or those recovering from surgery (such as hip or knee replacement), these simple yet innovative devices restore the ease and independence of getting dressed. From long-handled Reacher's that assist with socks and trousers to fine motor tools like the button hook and zipper pull, our aids empower users to dress themselves without strain, promoting confidence and maintaining personal privacy every day.

Essential Dressing Tools for Hard-to-Reach Areas

Many challenges in dressing come from difficulty reaching the feet or manipulating small fasteners. Our aids simplify these tasks:

• Sock and Stocking Aids: These popular tools are essential for anyone who cannot easily bend over (e.g., due to lower back pain, obesity, or post-operative restrictions). Our range includes rigid and flexible sock aids that easily slide socks or compression stockings onto the foot with minimal bending.

• Long-Handled Shoe Horns: Crucial for slipping into shoes without stooping or straining. We offer various lengths of extra-long shoe horns made from durable plastic or metal, perfect for use while standing or sitting.

• Dressing Sticks and Reacher's: A dressing stick is a versatile tool featuring a hook on one end. It can be used to pull up trousers, skirts, or jackets, push off socks, or retrieve clothing items from the floor or wardrobe—all without excessive stretching.

Tools for Fine Motor Challenges

For those with arthritis or neurological conditions that affect hand dexterity, small tasks like fastening clothes can be the biggest barrier to independence:

• Button Hooks and Zipper Pulls: These combined tools feature an easy-to-grip handle that is ideal for arthritic hands. The specialized wire loop of the button hook easily threads through buttonholes, while the built-in zipper pull hook manages small zip tabs, making dressing quick and frustration-free.

• Ezy-Fasteners: For individuals who struggle with shoelaces, we offer specialized elastic laces and tie-less solutions that turn laced shoes into easy slip-ons, promoting safety and independence.

Dressing Aid Kits: Complete Solutions

For patients recovering from major surgery (like hip or knee replacement) or those newly managing a disability, we offer comprehensive dressing aid kits. These convenient packages contain all the necessary tools—usually a reacher/grabber, a sock aid, a button hook, and a long shoe horn—providing a complete toolkit for immediate post-operative or rehabilitation use.
