The Digi-Sert is a bowel care aid for clients who have no functional hand grip. A vinyl strap secures the hand to the plastic handle, so the client controls the tool with arm and shoulder movement, with no finger grip needed.
It is designed to be used on a raised toilet seat and works for a right or a left hand, so it does not have to be ordered side specific. For people managing a spinal cord injury, this is the kind of item that decides whether bowel care is done independently or with a carer present, which is a large thing in someone’s week.
Two handle styles are available. Hygiene aids cannot be returned once they have been delivered, so it is worth confirming the choice with the client’s continence nurse or therapist first.
