Opening a tin is a two handed job that asks for grip strength and a steady wrist, and it is a common point where a client gives up on cooking for themselves. An adapted can opener takes that force out of the fingers and puts it into a handle the whole hand can hold.
It suits clients with arthritis, reduced grip, tremor or weakness on one side, and it is worth testing early with anyone who is still cooking but eating more packaged food than they used to. Kitchen aids like this tend to be assessed as a set, with jar and bottle openers alongside.
