Grrr, arthritis!
Specially Designed Thermoskin Gloves
Arthritis can be cruel. The pain and discomfort in the wrists and hands particularly can make everday tasks difficult, if not impossible. Turning taps, gripping kitchen implements and doing up buttons can become terribly frustrating. Old remedies like soaking your hands in warm oil work well, but can be messy, and are most definitely time consuming and maybe not just as convenient as we would like. Our answer to that is Thermoskin Gloves - a great solution which increases circulation to the hand and fingers and in particular inflammed areas of discomfort. The gloves are very comfortable and keep the hands warm but also offer relief from arthiritc pain. They are specially designed and lined with Trioxin fabric which is soft and causes no irritation to the skin even when the gloves are worn for long periods of time. This special lining allows the skin to breath but encourages increased bloodflow by generating heat within the glove. The gloves are easily adjusted with a hook and loop fastening and the outer fabric is textured to provide grip.
Capstan Tap Turners
Turning traditional style taps can become a real nightmare with arthritic hands but the solution is cheap and effective, simple and the difference between a struggle with the tap and instant water! Take a look at our Derby or Capstan tap turners – a favourite of our customers from Belfast to Banchory and everywhere in between.
There are many different types of cutlery specially deisgned for those with a weakened grip or who have difficulty in holding traditional implements. Our best sellers are Good Grips and Comfort cutlery.
SlipLift Pants Aid
Personal grooming and even the usually simple process of getting dressed can become tricky with stubborn hands that ‘don’t work’ properly – of the many solutions we have tracked down to help with these daily tasks, two of our best sellers are the Kings Button Hook and the SlipLift pants aid. Sometimes the most irritating thing is that the simple tasks we take for granted are the ones that can become most difficult when hands and fingers are inflammed and sore from arthritis.
This is just a taster of some of the many products we have researched and found that can make everyday life easier for those suffering from arthirits.
Coming soon – a new section all about grooming and dressing aids for arthritis sufferers. So watch this space for great ideas and invaluable information.
