Elastic No-Tie Laces 2-Pack | NDIS Dressing & Edema Aid

Eliminate the daily struggle of tying shoes and reduce fall risks with the Elastic No-Tie Laces (2-Pack). Classified as low cost assistive technology, this dressing aid is designed to assist NDIS participants living with Arthritis, Dyspraxia, Cerebral Palsy, or those who experience foot swelling (edema).

Standard shoelaces require significant fine motor manipulation, balance (to bend down), and cognitive sequencing to tie securely. This system replaces traditional laces with high-stretch elastic and a robust stainless steel screw-lock capsule. Once installed, the shoes are permanently transformed into slip-ons, allowing the user to step in and out effortlessly without ever needing to re-tie a knot. This 2-pack set offers excellent value, allowing participants to upgrade two pairs of shoes—such as everyday runners and walking shoes—simultaneously.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Fine Motor Compensation: Removes the need for the complex "pincer grasp" and twisting motion required to tie bows, enabling independent dressing for users with limited hand function.

• Edema & Circulation Support: The elastic material expands and contracts with the foot throughout the day, preventing the restriction of blood flow and accommodating swelling associated with diabetes or fluid retention.

• Fall Prevention: The stainless steel screw-lock capsule ensures laces never come undone, eliminating a major trip hazard for participants with mobility or vision impairments.

• Sensory Regulation: Provides consistent, even pressure across the bridge of the foot, avoiding the sensory irritation of tight knots or loose shoes often experienced by neurodivergent users.

Key Features & Benefits

• Secure Screw-Lock System: Features a metal capsule that screws together to lock laces firmly in place, ensuring they cannot loosen during walking or therapy sessions.

• Great Value 2-Pack: Supplied with enough laces and locking mechanisms to convert two complete pairs of shoes, maximizing budget efficiency.

• Universal Trim-to-Fit: The 110cm length fits almost any lace-up shoe type (kids or adults) and can be trimmed to the exact length required for a neat, custom fit.

• Slip-On Convenience: Allows the user to put shoes on without bending over or sitting down, reducing back strain and energy expenditure.

• Clean & Tidy Aesthetic: Eliminates messy bows and dangling laces, providing a streamlined look that reduces the stigma sometimes associated with adaptive clothing.
