Post-Op Recovery Aids | Hip, Knee & Back Surgery Assistance Tools

Navigate your rehabilitation safely and confidently with our selection of Post-Op Recovery Aids. Specifically chosen to assist individuals recovering from major orthopaedic procedures like hip replacement, knee surgery, or spinal operations, these tools are essential for maintaining independence while adhering to strict mobility restrictions. From specialized dressing aids that eliminate bending to bathroom safety equipment for secure transfers, our products support every phase of your recovery, ensuring you can manage daily tasks without straining surgical sites or risking re-injury.

Essential Aids for Protecting Surgical Restrictions

The early days post-surgery require strict adherence to medical restrictions, primarily avoiding excessive bending, twisting, and strain. Our aids facilitate daily living while ensuring safety:

• Dressing Aids for Limited Bending: Tools like the long-handled reacher/grabber and sock aid are non-negotiable after hip and back surgery. They allow users to dress, retrieve objects, and manage clothes without bending past the critical 90-degree angle, preventing dislocation and strain.

• Mobility Support: We offer specialized walking aids, including post-op walkers and sturdy canes, that are designed to support partial weight bearing and help maintain balance as prescribed by your physical therapist.

• Positioning and Alignment: Products such as the abduction pillow (for hip stability) and foam wedges (for leg elevation) are vital for maintaining the correct anatomical alignment during sleep and rest, reducing swelling, and preventing joint complications.

Bathroom Safety: Minimizing Risk During Transfers

The bathroom is the highest-risk area for falls during recovery. These aids provide stability and secure transfers:

• Elevated Toilet Seats: Raising the toilet height reduces the deep bend required for sitting and standing. We offer raised toilet seats with or without integrated safety frames to provide maximum support.

• Shower and Bath Transfer Benches: These essential aids allow the user to sit down on the bench outside the tub and safely slide across into the bath or shower area, eliminating the need to step over a high tub edge.

• Grab Bars and Rails: Temporary suction grab bars or permanently fixed safety rails are crucial for stability when entering the shower, standing, and exiting the bath area.

Recovery Kits: Convenient and Comprehensive

For maximum preparedness, consider our specially assembled Post-Op Recovery Kits (often called Hip Kits). These bundles contain all the necessary tools recommended by occupational therapists, typically including a reacher, sock aid, long shoe horn, and sponge, ensuring you have the right equipment immediately upon returning home.
