Buttons and zips are two of the first things to go when hand function drops, and they are often what pushes someone into asking for help with dressing. This Therafin aid puts a button hook on one end and a zipper pull on the other, so both jobs are covered by a single tool.
The handle is ribbed, which gives a client something to grip when the fingers cannot pinch or when the skin is dry and slippery. It is used with one hand, which makes it a sensible option after a stroke, or for clients with arthritis, tremor or reduced grip strength.
Because it is small and light it travels easily, so independence at home carries over to respite, hospital and holidays.
