This handy contraption is a sturdy frame covered with terry towelling fabric which holds your sock or stocking securely whilst being pulled over your feet.

The Uni turner is specifically designed to make these everyday tasks much easier. It has a comfortable handle and the user can utilise both hands where necessary.
Dycem matting
This multi-purpose non-slip material solves many stabilisation and gripping problems for those with limited dexterity. The material grips on both sides to prevent movement on dry slippery surfaces. Available in many sizes and washable in warm soapy water. Use Dycem matting to open cans and jars, or to serve as a placemat or underneath your cutting board. A very handy addition to any kitchen.

Those who have difficultly gripping, or may only have the use of one arm love this clever food preparation system. No need to give up when it comes to cooking, this durable cutting board has four non-slip rubber feet to prevent the board moving and has suction pads available for use on wet surfaces. The clamp can fix such items as tins, bowls and of course vegetables. The steel spikes also keep your veggies still when peeling or cutting.
