Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
Regain control over everyday tasks with the Homecraft Contour Turner. Small knobs, dials, and handles on appliances can be a daily source of frustration for individuals with limited hand strength, arthritis, or reduced dexterity. This simple yet brilliant piece of low cost assistive technology provides the leverage and grip needed to operate these items easily, promoting greater independence throughout the home.
This knob and dial turner is specifically designed to empower people with disabilities by:
Reducing Pain & Strain: The ergonomic handle provides significant leverage, allowing users to turn stiff or small dials with minimal effort. This is ideal for those with arthritis or a weak grip, as it reduces strain on fingers, hands, and wrists.
Increasing Independence at Home: Confidently operate a wide range of household items without assistance, including washing machine dials, stove knobs, microwave controls, radiator valves, and small tap handles.
Promoting Confidence & Self-Sufficiency: Successfully managing everyday tasks independently boosts confidence and reduces reliance on others, contributing to a greater sense of control and well-being.
Adaptive Gripping Head: The unique head contains sprung stainless steel rods that automatically retract and conform to the shape of the knob or dial. This creates a secure, custom grip on the object, preventing slips and ensuring a successful turn every time.
Ergonomic T-Shaped Handle: The large, T-shaped plastic handle is designed to be held comfortably in the palm of the hand. This allows you to use the strength of your whole arm for leverage, rather than relying on finger strength alone.
Compact & Portable Design: Small enough to be carried discreetly in a pocket or handbag, this tool provides on-the-go assistance wherever you need it.
Safe & Durable Materials: Made with a sturdy, non-latex handle and resilient stainless steel rods, this tool is built for long-lasting, reliable daily use.
The Homecraft Contour Turner is an excellent example of low cost assistive technology that directly supports the NDIS goals of enhancing independence and building capacity in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
