Duro Med Deluxe flexible Stocking White
I had high dose radiation to my left hip in January of this year, and one of the the side effects can be muscle fibrosis (scarring) and edema (swelling) in the area treated. I am currently undergoing physical therapy to deal with this, and one of the most frustrating and difficult situations this has put me in has been the inability to bend over on my left side. Putting on a sock became increasingly more and more difficult and painful and, quite frankly, is now impossible. There were two days I simply did not go into work, not because of symptoms, but because as a person who lives alone, I could not get my left sock on. (Wearing footwear without socks is not permitted in my workplace.) It was enough to bring tears of frustration each morning.
I reviewed this device, and decided to give it a shot, and it has literally changed my life. I can know put on any sock of my choosing on my affected side in a matter of minutes. The construction and material is very solid, and the straps are long enough. I am 6'3" and can't really reach below my knee right now, and I have no issue whatsoever pulling my sock up. I also have fairly wide feet, and the hard plastic, yet flexible, shell fits my foot with total ease.
I highly recommend this device to anyone who may need the additional assistance of getting their socks on. I would have gladly paid many times its selling price for the degree of independence this product provides.
I have a bad back and hip, making it VERY difficult, if not impossible, to put my socks on! It might take a little 'practice', but it does the job oh so nicely!!
BalasHapusWhat a boon to all who have had hip surgery or have trouble bending to get socks on. Mine stays in a handy basket beside my bed.

Think is little over priced but this device works extremely well and pretty durable. Had my last one for over 5 years. Can be little difficult if feet damp or in very humid environment, sometimes sticks and is difficult to pull up but otherwise great.

BalasHapusI purchased this item because I was having hip replacement surgery. This sock aid was a great help in assisting me to put on my compression leggings and socks for a couple weeks after surgery. I could not have managed without it.
BalasHapusThis "sock puller-oner" works perfectly. I have two artificial hips and back problems, plus I have very wide feet. This one works perfectly to get both dress socks and athletic socks on quickly. I ordered two and very glad that I did.
BalasHapusAfter hip replacement, a sock aid is a necessity. The Terry Cloth Sock Aid is wonderful, and easy to use, and friendly to nylons. I'd like to offer a little tip: when your toes reach the stocking toe, press your toes to the floor and hold them there so when the rest of the stocking is pulled on, your toes will not be too tightly encased.
BalasHapusI have 3 types of stocking aids, but this is my favorite!
I've already notified the seller that I like my purchase. I can be more independent. JB
BalasHapusWhat more can I say. This thing is so simple and it WORKS GREAT !
