SKU: N/A
Categories: Getting compression garments on/off, Slide
Use:
- When the stocking feels too tight to get past the heel and ankle.
- When caregivers assist with putting on open toe stockings.
- For people with limited grip strength.
Pros:
- Easy Slide works great to reduce friction to get the stocking past the heel.
- If you can tie your shoes you can probably put on stockings with this technique. I have often experienced that a process that may take over 20 minutes with sweat, pain and frustration without it, can be done in 3 minutes with this technique. I use it any time I assist a patient with open toe stockings.
Cons:
- You need to be able to reach your feet to use this tool. If it is difficult to reach the feet because of back, abdominal or hip problems, you may need to consider another solution like The Simon
- Can be tough on fragile skin. In that case, we recommend the Doff N Donner
Combine with:
- Grip gloves for better grip to save your hands
- Juzo Easy pad to rub the foot against and limit need for bending down.
