Frequently Bought Together

Restore dignity and ease to your morning routine with the RMS Button Hook with Zipper Pull. This essential piece of low-cost assistive technology is designed specifically for NDIS participants who struggle with the fine motor movements required for dressing.

Buttons and zippers can be frustrating obstacles for individuals with arthritis, limited dexterity, or reduced hand strength. This 2-in-1 tool bridges that gap. The Wide Comfort Grip handle provides a secure, non-slip surface that fits comfortably in the palm, converting the fiddly "pinching" motion of buttoning into a simpler gross motor movement.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

Overcoming Dexterity Limits (Arthritis): The wire loop slides through the buttonhole and grabs the button, allowing the user to pull it through with a simple wrist motion. This eliminates the need for painful pinching or twisting of fingers.

Promoting Independence: By enabling the user to button shirts and zip jackets without assistance, it reduces reliance on carers for intimate daily tasks, preserving privacy and dignity.

2-in-1 Functionality: The opposite end features a heavy-duty zipper hook. This helps users with weak grips to pull up zippers on trousers, jackets, or boots, which are often small and hard to grasp.

Safety & Fabric Care: The smooth, snag-free wire ensures that delicate clothing is not damaged during the process, making it suitable for work shirts, blouses, or uniforms.

Key Features & Benefits

Ribbed Comfort Handle: A wide, textured handle ensures the tool stays firmly in the hand, even for users with weak grip or damp hands.
Snag-Free Wire Loop: Precision-formed steel wire glides through buttonholes easily without catching threads or fabric.
Integrated Zipper Pull: A small hook on the base of the handle makes operating zippers effortless.
Lightweight Design: Weighing only 85g, it adds no significant weight to the dressing task, preventing fatigue.
Compact & Portable: At 19cm long, it fits easily into a travel bag or drawer, ensuring support is available wherever you go.

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.
