The Zip Puller – Dressing Aid is a simple yet highly effective assistive device designed to help individuals independently zip and unzip garments that have back zippers or hard-to-reach zipper closures. It is especially beneficial for people with limited shoulder mobility, arthritis, frozen shoulder, rotator cuff injuries, Parkinson's disease, stroke, spinal cord injury, or reduced hand dexterity.
The device features a durable fabric strap attached to a high-strength metal zipper hook, allowing users to easily reach and operate zippers on dresses, jackets, skirts, boots, and other garments without assistance. The long strap provides additional reach while reducing strain on the shoulder and arm, promoting greater independence in daily dressing activities.
Suitable for occupational therapy, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, elderly care facilities, and home use, the Zip Puller is lightweight, portable, and easy to carry in a handbag or travel bag.
