Easi-Grip® Scissors - Peta

The Easi-Grip® Scissors from Peta are a range of ultralight self-opening adapted scissors. They have been developed for those with special needs and assist adults with weak hands who have grip difficulties and are unable to use conventional style scissors. Ideal for arthritis sufferers, those with Parkinson’s disease, repetitive strain injury, carpal tunnel syndrome, spasticity or low tone.

These scissors are fitted with a continuous loop handle (rather than the individual finger and thumb loops) that reopens automatically when the pressure is released: a gentle squeeze with one finger or palm will do the trick. The fact they are lightweight reduces fatigue in the hand of the user. The assistive device has a spring which reopens the scissors after each cutting action. It cuts through paper effortlessly. The scissors come with a blade guard that slides over the blades for safety.

The Easi-Grip® version for children is also available at Bettercaremarket and features a round tip. Check the specifications to view all three versions.

Peta is a British Company that is committed to developing practical and ergonomic tools. The first Easi-Grip® Scissor was designed in 1975. Since then Peta has worked with Occupational therapists to improve the extensive range of adapted scissors. Peta is now a mark of quality.
