Norco Molded Sock Aid - Two or One Handed Use for Individuals with Limited Mobility, Arthritis, Back Surgery, Knee, Hip Replacement

Designed to Simplify Sock-Wearing: The Norco Molded Sock Aid

For those who struggle with bending or reaching their toes, the Norco Molded Sock Aid was specifically created to minimize strain on the back, hips, and knees. Crafted with over four decades of experience in designing and manufacturing assistive devices, this sock aid is built to withstand years of use while providing comfort and ease of use.

The Norco Molded Sock Aid features a comfortable foam handle at the top of the looped rope, allowing users to utilize larger muscle groups to pull socks up rather than relying solely on potentially swollen, painful, or dexteritychallenged hands. Occupational Therapists and Physical Therapists often recommend sock aids like this one for individuals recovering from knee or hip replacements, back surgeries, or those living with arthritis, diabetes, or other disabilities.

Using the Norco Molded Sock Aid requires some initial practice, but with the provided helpful hints, users can quickly regain the ability to put on their own socks. The device extends the user's reach by 38 inches, eliminating the need to bend at the waist. To use, simply place the molded sock aid between the legs or rest it on the lap, with the top of the device against the abdomen. Carefully position the sock over the device, ensuring the heel is toward the back, then ease the sock up the length of the aid, gathering it evenly. Finally, lower the sock aid in front of the foot, point the toes downward, and slide the foot into the opening, pulling upward on the strap to bring the sock over the heel and up the leg.

Attention to detail is evident in the Norco Molded Sock Aid's design. A foam disc on the underside of the trough prevents the sock from sliding off before it is fully on the foot. The trough can be adjusted using a heat gun, and good hand strength is required to flex the aid. The 28-inch cord can be trimmed to the desired length, and the single-cord handle allows for one- or two-handed use.

North Coast Medical, the manufacturer of the Norco Molded Sock Aid, has built strong relationships with industry-respected Occupational, Physical, and Hand Therapists over the past four decades. This collaboration has resulted in the development of products specifically tailored to meet the needs of these providers and their patients. The company takes great pride in its manufacturing oversight, ensuring the products they produce meet the highest quality standards.

The Norco Molded Sock Aid is a testament to North Coast Medical's commitment to improving the daily lives of individuals facing mobility challenges. By simplifying the task of putting on socks, this device helps maintain independence and promote a better quality of life.
