Assistive Jar & Bottle Opener Set | NDIS Grip Aid Kit

Restore autonomy in the kitchen and eliminate the pain of stubborn containers with the Assistive Jar & Bottle Gripper Set. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this comprehensive 3-piece kit is specifically designed for NDIS participants living with Arthritis, Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), weak grip strength, or limited fine motor dexterity.

Standard packaging often requires a level of pinch force and torque that is inaccessible for many participants. This set acts as a mechanical extension of the hand, providing the necessary leverage to open vacuum-sealed jars, ring-pull cans, and twist-off bottle caps with minimal physical effort. By replacing raw strength with ergonomic leverage, this toolset protects fragile joints from strain and empowers users to prepare meals independently without asking for assistance.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Joint Protection & Pain Management: Significantly reduces the torque and grip pressure required to open containers, protecting the small joints of the fingers and wrists from inflammation and pain.

• Compensating for Reduced Grip: The high-friction rubber linings and long handles magnify weak grip strength, allowing participants with neuromuscular conditions to open tight seals independently.

• Safety & Injury Prevention: Eliminates the dangerous need to use knives or damp cloths to break vacuum seals, reducing the risk of accidental cuts or slips.

• Fine Motor Support: The specialized hooks and levers handle difficult tasks like lifting ring-pulls or peeling safety seals, which require precise pincer grasp often difficult for those with dyspraxia or tremors.

Key Features & Benefits

• 6-in-1 Multi-Tool: A versatile device that manages pull-tabs, safety seals, bags, and bottle caps, reducing the need for multiple gadgets.

• Vacuum Seal Release: The 5-in-1 tool features a specific lever to pop the vacuum seal on jars, instantly making the lid loose and easy to remove.

• 4-in-1 Adjustable Gripper: Features four distinct circular grip sizes lined with non-slip rubber to securely lock onto jars and bottles from 2cm to 8.5cm wide.

• Ergonomic Leverage: Long, contoured handles provide a mechanical advantage, allowing users to generate twisting force using their arm strength rather than hand strength.

• Durable & Hygienic: Made from high-grade, wipeable plastic and rubber that withstands kitchen spills and is easy to sanitize.
