Helping Hand Company Ezy-on Tall Compression Stocking/Sock Aid Applicator. Dressing aids for putting on compression support socks for women and men

What a marvellous item this is. I have just had a hernia operation so can’t bend about and was advised to wear these socks for 2-4 weeks. My wife was having terrible trouble getting the medical compression sock on due to arthritis in her fingers and shoulders. She would end up in terrible pain, the nurse made it look so easy getting them on ! Did a bit of research and found this item, arrived quickly and had to keep the compression socks for 2 days before it arrived. What a revelation in the ease and simplicity of use, we had my compression socks on first try in seconds, no more pain for my wife ! We got this model which has the longer handles which works very well. It is very well made and sturdy. We did contact our local nurse at our surgery who recommended a couple, on was over £100, so very glad we did our research before committing ourselves. For the money paid £25 this item is excellent value for money, so if you are having trouble getting compression socks on this item is fantastic value for money !

This was expensive enough but …. it really does the job! It is very sturdy and made of metal rather than some of the other brands that are plastic with ropes or fabric attached. I found it easy to roll the compression socks on to it and pull the frame up your leg to get the whole sock up to your knee. I found because the compression socks have a very high tension, it was easier to get the socks on the frame if you sit down, put the aid on your lap with the base pressed into your stomach, you can then pull the sock onto the frame much easier. I also make sure to have the sock stretched the full length of the frame with any excess of the sock ruched up at the top of the stocking - this means when you are putting the compression sock you don’t have any wrinkles in it which are very hard to get rid of by hand once on. Once the sock was on the frame, I got my first sock on in under 10 seconds - I’d never had done that without the aid! It’s been a game changer! I have only given it 4 stars as I needed it because I have had my hip replaced this week and am not allowed to bend down very far and even though I’m 5ft 6in I found I had to stretch down too far to grab the handles to pull it up my leg (so I have to use my grabber stick aid to hold it in place on the floor while I put my foot in it and also use the grabber to pull the frame up my leg until I can comfortably bend and grab the handle so even though the description says “Tall” it could do with being another 4-5 inches taller to suit post hip replacement users. If you have no problem with bending down the height as it is should be fine. This aid is a keeper - I’m going to hold on to it in the attic for the next time anyone in the family needs to put on compression socks!

This is actually very good and quite easy to use when I tried it, but my mum struggled a bit to get the stocking on to it. I think she would have been fine if she had tried again but she didn't like the feel of compression stockings so didn't want to keep trying. I found this was better than the slippery-slidey type aids - easier and did a better job, but it does look odd which can be off-putting for someone who already doesn't want to wear the stockings, but I do think it's good. I got my mum lower compression stockings in the end - she can put them on normally and they're better than nothing. For someone who is willing to try properly though, I would recommend this product.

A very strong sturdy product. As with other reviews not easy with elderly arthritic hands. It is very difficult to load compression knee high stockings onto the frame. It was good at being able to place stocking onto my foot, but impossible to pull it up my leg.

Yes it not easy to get the sock on to the frame, but once on the frame and sorted, it is so very easy to get the sock on. I am 79 and have arthritis in my left hand which doesn't make it easy getting the sock on the frame, but once it's on correctly, to actually get the sock on the foot takes just seconds. I would definitely reccomend it to anyone

If you have very swollen legs, or you are unable to straighten your ankle to point your toes, this gadget just doesn’t help. I was really hoping it would help get my mother’s compression stockings on - sadly returning the item (& sadly not free to return). Disappointed

This item was such a help for my husband as we struggle to put on his compression socks/stockings, came in very useful after his surgery as he needed to wear them for a few days. Would definitely recommend.

Found it very confusing at first. Put it aside because I couldn't get it to work properly. Then I looked again at the video. Works well once you understand how!! I use full length compressions stockings. The aid is sturdy and manages them without any problem. The only other comment I would make is why is it shaped at an angle? To match the presumed angle of the leg when putting the foot into the stocking?

très satisfait

Molto utile e facile da usare, ha risolto il problema ad una persona che ha problemi di schiena e di gonfiore alle gambe, in un attimo stando in posizione eretta si indossa rapidamente le calze

Mi padre usa una media muy rígida antitrombos, su mayor dificultad está en pasar el talón y era un suplicio ponérselo. Literalmente tardaba 1 hora en ponerse 1 media. Ahora con el aparato es cuestión de colocarla en el soporte y un poco de maña que no fuerza para pasar el tramo infernal. Si que es verdad que mi padre no tiene problemas de movilidad, pero el esfuerzo ahora es mínimo... Contento con el resultado.

Muy útil. Cumple la misión para la que se compró.

Die Strümpfe kann man sehr gut Anziehen ,auch die Stützstrümpfe.
