Stocking aid
Product detail
Each stocking aid consists of a strong and specially shaped plastic gutter with a long cotton tape threaded through two holes in the top. The tape is long enough for the two ends to reach easily up to the hands. The plastic has two side notches to hold the top of the stocking or sock in place. Full instructions on how to use the stocking aid are included.
• Cord length 920mm (36"). Gutter length 229mm (9"). Weight 55g
Health benefits
The stocking aid is an inexpensive device that can help you put on socks or stockings without needing to bend from the waist or the hips. The aid is simple to use and helps you maintain independence while dressing.
Your sock or stocking fits over the plastic gutter and is held in place by two side notches. After slipping your foot into the toe of the garment, put your heel on the ground and pull the gutter up using the tape ends, lifting your heel slightly as you ease the sock or stocking into place over the heel. All you then need to do is point your toes and carry on pulling until the top of the sock or stocking is released.
With a small amount of practice, you can put on socks or stockings without difficulty and without back or joint pain.
