Who Can Benefit from the Helping Hands Hip Replacement Recovery Kit?
The variety of easy-to-use care items included in this Helping Hands kit makes it useful for anyone who struggles to grab, reach bend down, or those with limited strength in the hands or wrists. This includes but isn't limited to:

Reacher is Extremely Versatile
When you're grabbing something with just your hand, the type of grip you use will depend on what you're reaching for, so the Classic Reaching Tool features a multi-faceted head to accommodate this:
- Grabbing Head with Non-Slip Jaw: A standard claw that will be used to grab most things, but with ridges to prevent little slips and drops
- Dressing Post: This is great for handling and applying clothes without creasing them like the claw might. It can also help to boost independence
- Magnetic tip: No matter how small the head of a grabber is, picking up coins or keys can seem impossible, but this small magnet means that won't be an issue

Bathe with Confidence and Dignity
The ability to bathe independently or with minimal carer help can be really important for the confidence of patients with limited mobility. The long handled sponge has a clever bending design, allowing patients to scrub those hard to reach places like back and lower legs with ease. Also, as baths and showers can present an elevated fall hazard when you're injured or in recovery, minimising excess movement is important.

Long Shoe Horn and Sock Aid is Easy on Joints, Feet and Hands
The included extra-long shoe horn and sock aid sling prevent the need for bending down and pressing hard with your feet to get into your socks and shoes. Normally putting on socks and shoes, especially tight/compression socks and dress shoes, can also be tough on the fingers, hands and wrists, but the clever design of the sling and soft, moulded material of the horn makes the whole process gentler and smoother.
Dressing Peg and Non-Slip Teeth to Help You Dress
Similarly, the grabber is great for picking up clothes with the clamping jaw with ridged, non-slip teeth. The top of the grabber also features a dressing peg that is suited to lifting clothes hems or pulling up socks.
Take Your Kit On-the-Go With the Drawstring Bag
As well as the four brilliant reaching tools, the Helping Hands Hip Replacement Kit also includes a handy drawstring bag. Not only does this make it easier to keep track of the individual items, it's great for travel.
