Product Details

The Poly Stocking Aid is a practical dressing aid for people who find it difficult to bend down to their feet due to reduced mobility, arthritis, back pain or recovery from surgery. It helps users put on socks and stockings more independently while reducing strain on the back, hips and knees.

The flexible plastic gutter holds the sock or stocking open using specially shaped side cut-outs, making it easier to position the foot correctly. Once the foot is inserted, the long webbing straps can be used to pull the garment smoothly over the foot and up the leg without the need to bend forwards.

Lightweight, easy to use and simple to clean, the Poly Stocking Aid is suitable for a wide range of users. Its latex-free design makes it suitable for those with latex sensitivities.

    Saves bending

    Review by P. Pluckrose Posted on 18/09/2024 16:24:09
    I have a fractured spine and bending is hard but in the winter I do like to wear a nice warm sock. This will be so helpful and it’s easy to use.
