Easy-Open Jar & Bottle Opener Set | NDIS Weak Grip Aid

Overcome the frustration of tight lids and maintain your independence in the kitchen with the Easy-Open Jar & Bottle Opener Set. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this 2-piece mechanical aid is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Arthritis, weak grip strength, or upper limb fatigue.

Opening jars and bottles often requires a combination of strong grip force and twisting torque, which can be painful or impossible for many users. This set utilizes a high-friction rubber strap system to grip the lid securely, while the ergonomic handle provides substantial leverage. This mechanical advantage means you can break the vacuum seal on a jar of pickles or open a small medication bottle using the strength of your arm rather than stressing painful finger joints. With two sizes included, it offers a versatile solution for almost any container in the home.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Joint Protection: Replaces the need for a tight "pinch grip" and wrist twisting with a gross motor lever action, protecting arthritic joints from strain and inflammation.

• Promoting Independence: Removes the physical barrier to accessing food and hydration, allowing participants to prepare meals without waiting for a carer or family member to assist.

• Enhancing Safety: Eliminates the need for dangerous workarounds—such as using knives to pop lids, banging jars, or running hot water—reducing the risk of kitchen injuries.

• Versatile Accessibility: The adjustable strap design accommodates everything from tiny bottle caps to large preserve jars, ensuring broad utility across daily living tasks.

Key Features & Benefits

• High-Leverage Handle: The extended handle acts as a lever, multiplying the force applied by the user so that tight seals can be broken with minimal physical effort.

• Adjustable Rubber Strap: The durable rubber loop can be tightened to fit any lid size, providing a customized, non-slip grip that won't damage the container.

• 2-Piece Set: Includes a Large opener (Yellow) for jars and plumbing fixtures, and a Small opener (Black) for bottles and medication containers, covering all needs.

• Lightweight Design: Weighing only 181g combined, these tools are easy to lift and position for users with reduced upper limb strength.

• Durable Construction: Made from reinforced plastic and heavy-duty rubber, designed to withstand the torque required for stubborn lids without snapping.
