Designed with You in Mind

  • One-Handed Ratcheting Design: Ingenious mechanism allows the user to open cans by simply squeezing the handles, eliminating the need for difficult twisting motions.
  • Arthritis-Friendly Operation: Uses gross motor grip strength (squeezing) rather than fine motor torque, significantly reducing pain and strain on finger joints.
  • Magnetic Safety Tip: A built-in magnet secures the sharp lid after cutting, allowing for safe removal and disposal without touching the metal edge.
  • Compact & Lightweight: Weighing just 200g, this opener is easy to lift and position, making it suitable for users with tremors or reduced upper body strength.
  • Easy Hygiene Maintenance: Designed to be top-rack dishwasher safe, ensuring the tool remains clean and sanitary without requiring manual scrubbing.

Frequently Bought Together

Prepare meals independently without the strain of traditional tools using the Chef'n EzSqueeze One-Handed Can Opener. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this innovative kitchen aid is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with Arthritis, limb difference, or reduced upper limb strength.

Standard can openers require two hands and a twisting motion that can be painful or impossible for many users. The EzSqueeze replaces this torque-heavy action with a simple, ratcheting squeeze mechanism. By utilizing the palm and whole hand rather than just the fingers, it allows users to open tins with minimal effort. Featuring a magnetic tip to safely remove the lid and a compact, lightweight design, it empowers participants to access nutritious canned foods safely and autonomously.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

  • Joint Protection: Replaces the painful twisting motion of standard openers with a squeeze action, reducing stress on the wrist and finger joints for participants with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

  • Enabling One-Handed Use: The smart design locks onto the can, allowing users with hemiplegia or amputation to operate the device using a single hand.

  • Improving Kitchen Safety: The integrated magnet lifts the sharp lid away from the food, preventing the user from needing to fish it out with fingers, thereby reducing cut risks.

  • Energy Conservation: The ratcheting gear system multiplies the force applied by the user, making can opening efficient and less fatiguing for those with muscle weakness.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Ratcheting Squeeze Mechanism: Opens cans with a repeated squeezing motion of the handle, utilizing gross motor skills rather than fine motor twisting.

  • Magnetic Lid Holder: A strong magnet catches the lid as it is cut, preventing it from falling into the food and allowing for safe disposal.

  • Stainless Steel Blade: Features a durable, sharp cutting wheel that penetrates cans easily and resists rust for long-term use.

  • Compact & Lightweight: Weighing only 200g and measuring 15cm, it is easy to handle for users with weak grip and stores easily in standard cutlery drawers.

  • Dishwasher Safe: Unlike many assistive openers, this unit is top-rack dishwasher safe, ensuring high hygiene standards are easily maintained.
