BetterCareMarket offers a range of General Aids and Assistive Devices, which are designed to make everyday activities easier and safer. 

Tap Turners

Tap turners are handy gadgets designed to assist individuals with weak grip strength or limited in turning taps. They typically have a handle or lever that attaches to the tap, giving you more leverage to turn in on and off without needing a strong grip. This makes it much simpler and less tiring to use sinks, showers and baths, even if your hands aren’t as strong as they used to be. 

One Touch Opener

Another osteoporosis friendly aid is the One Touch Can Opener, a simple device that opens cans with just the push of a button. It works by gripping the can and automatically rotating to cut through the lid, so you don’t have to twist or strain your hands. This user friendly design takes the effort out of opening cans, as you don’t need strong grip strength, providing convenience and independence.

Reacher Tool

Long Handled Reachers are assistive tools designed to help you get to items which are out of your normal reach, whether they are on high shelves or down low. It has a long handle with a grip on one end, and a claw-like magnetic mechanism on the other end. The magnetic claw acts as an extension of your hand to pick up objects, which helps you avoid stretching or bending too much. This allows you to retrieve items safely without risk of injury or asking for help.
