Sock Pull-On Aids

Arthritis, age, or injury can make it difficult to get dressed, particularly when donning and doffing socks. Maintaining self-reliance and independence are important for physical and mental well-being, and dressing aids from Vitality Medical can help promote both. Sock aids are just one of the ways to support everyday independence for those who need help putting on socks. A sock-assist device may be a short-term answer during recovery from a hip replacement or it may be used every day to ease the burden. Whether applying regular stocking or rigid compression socks and support hoses, a sock helper device will make this daunting task doable.

Cost-effective sock helpers are sold individually or they can be found in hip kits, such as the Fablife Deluxe Hip Kit, that include five different living aids in one package. These handy dressing assistive tools will help elderly individuals or those who are in the recovery process following hip replacement surgery with the items they need to get dressed with ease and without pain or strain.

Types of Sock Assist Devices

Sock Assist Device

Bending down or bending over may be difficult for individuals with back, knee, or hip pain. This makes putting on stockings an everyday challenge, which is why sock helpers for seniors may be necessary. Sock aids are the perfect solution and use molded inserts to arrange socks in an open position. These types of sock-assistive devices have long straps to lower the stocking to the floor without the user having to lean over. The top of the foot is positioned inside the stocking and the straps pull the sock up and around the foot. If the sock is uneven, a reacher or grabber may be helpful to finish the task and make necessary adjustments that won't require bending.

Example:
The Duro-Med Sock Aid Pull On has easy-to-grasp handles and a terry cloth cover that helps prevent socks from slipping. The 29-inch straps make it easy for those with limited mobility or who are recovering from injuries or surgery to don their socks with ease.

Compression Stocking Pull-on Devices

Compression stockings are very rigid with tightly woven elasticized fabric. Their construction often makes it difficult to expand and put on the foot. Compression stockings squeeze the feet and legs to improve blood circulation and reduce pain and swelling. Don't let the difficulty of donning compression socks or stockings prevent users from reaping the benefits of compression therapy! Vitality Medical has some great sock aid devices that are specially made for compression socks.

Example:
The Doff N’ Donner compression stocking aid is a ground-breaking product that helps put on and take off compression socks easily. This innovative device rolls the compression stocking onto its shell to slip over the foot.

Donning Gloves

Other sock aid devices that can help simplify the donning, doffing, and repositioning processes are donning gloves. These affordable, easy-to-use products feature easy-grip surfaces that make putting on and taking off compression socks an easier process.

Example:
Truform Latex-Free Donning Gloves facilitate the safe application of compression garments and are must-haves for every stocking user. They are available in multiple sizes, from Small to X-Large, to accommodate multiple hand sizes.
