    *

    Whether you’ve had a stroke, suffered a spinal injury or have any condition which reduces your hand function, our aids could unlock any number of activities for you:

    • Working out in the gym (e.g. holding free weights, using a rowing machine)
    • Playing on the Nintendo Wii
    • DIY at home (using a saw or hammer)
    • Holding a pool or snooker cue
    • Rowing or Kayaking
    • Gardening
    • Holding a glass or bottle

    How they work

    • General Purpose gripping aids function by the tightening of a strap in the upper section, which gently pulls the hand into a fist shape, adjusting to hold items in the palm
    • The wrist strap is also adjustable and the aid is padded to reduce chafing
