Supports That Work Together

The RMS Button Hook & Zipper Pull combines two clothing-fastening aids in one hand-held tool. The wire loop can be passed through a buttonhole to engage a button, while the hook at the opposite end can be used with suitable zipper tabs.

Its wider, ribbed handle provides an alternative to gripping small buttons and zip pulls directly. It may be useful when fine finger movements or a sustained pinch grip make dressing difficult.

Key Features

  • Button-Hooking Loop: The shaped wire loop engages a button and helps guide it through a buttonhole.
  • Integrated Zipper Hook: A hook at the opposite end helps grasp suitable zipper pull tabs.
  • Wide Ribbed Handle: A larger textured holding surface offers an alternative to pinching small fasteners.
  • Two Functions in One: The same portable tool can assist with both buttoning and zip operation.
  • Compact Dressing Aid: Can be kept with everyday clothing or taken in a bag for use away from home.

The RMS Button Hook with Zipper Pull is a specialized adaptive dressing aid. It is designed to assist NDIS participants who experience functional limitations in fine motor control, grip strength, and dexterity.

How This Item Can Support NDIS Goals

This device directly supports NDIS goals related to independent living, self-care, and maintaining dignity by:

Enhancing Motor Access: It converts the complex fine motor task of manipulating small buttons and zippers into a manageable gross motor action, overcoming physical barriers caused by arthritis or neurological conditions.

Increasing Independence: By enabling the participant to dress themselves, it reduces the need for formal or informal support for basic Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).

Reducing Pain & Fatigue: The wide grip reduces the force required to hold the tool, preventing pain and joint strain associated with traditional dressing methods.

Meeting 'Reasonable & Necessary' Criteria

This device aligns with NDIS criteria as a value-for-money assistive technology. It is a low-cost, durable solution that restores a critical daily function (dressing) and reduces the ongoing cost of carer assistance.

Some products are shipped through authorised logistics partners, including Amazon. Your purchase is always with LowCost AT, and we remain your responsible Australian supplier and NDIS registered provider.
