Product Details

The Sock/Hose Aid is a simple yet effective dressing aid designed to make putting on socks, stockings and other hosiery easier for people with limited mobility, reduced flexibility or back, hip and knee problems. By reducing the need to bend or reach towards the feet, it promotes greater independence with everyday dressing.

The aid features a flexible sleeve with two different surfaces. The smooth nylon lining creates minimal friction, allowing the foot to slide easily into the sock, while the terry cloth outer grips the fabric securely to keep it in place as it is pulled over the foot. Long draw straps provide excellent reach, making the aid comfortable and straightforward to use from a seated position.

Lightweight, washable and easy to store, the Sock/Hose Aid is ideal for everyday use at home or while travelling.
