Frequently Bought Together

Maintain healthy skin and manage personal care independently with the Slick Solutions Slick-Lotion Applicator. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this ergonomic reach aid is specifically designed to support NDIS participants living with limited shoulder mobility, back pain, or conditions that restrict flexibility.

Applying essential medical ointments, moisturisers, or sun protection to the back and lower legs is a common challenge that often necessitates help from a carer. This device acts as an extension of the arm, featuring a 17-inch curved handle that allows users to reach difficult areas without painful twisting or bending. The specialized non-absorbent pad ensures that expensive prescription creams sit on the surface rather than soaking into the tool, ensuring efficient, hygienic application and reducing waste.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

  • Promoting Independence: Enables the participant to apply their own skin treatments and lotions without relying on a support worker or family member, fostering autonomy in personal care.

  • Preserving Skin Integrity: Ensures hard-to-reach areas (like the back and legs) receive necessary hydration or medication, preventing dry skin conditions, itching, or pressure sores.

  • Joint Protection: The long, curved handle eliminates the need to overextend the shoulder or twist the spine, protecting users with Arthritis or recovering from surgery.

  • Economic Medication Use: The non-absorbent surface prevents wastage of prescribed creams, ensuring the medication goes onto the skin rather than into a sponge.

Key Features & Benefits

  • 17-Inch Extended Reach: Provides ample length to access the middle of the back, feet, and ankles comfortably from a standing or seated position.

  • Ergonomic Curved Handle: Scientifically shaped to follow the contours of the body, maximizing reach with minimal arm movement.

  • Non-Absorbent Textured Pad: Holds lotions and gels on the surface for even distribution, ensuring no product is wasted during application.

  • Hygienic & Easy to Clean: The non-porous surface does not harbor bacteria like sponges; simply rinse under water and pat dry for immediate reuse.

  • Storage Loop: Features a sturdy fabric loop for hanging in the shower or bathroom, keeping the aid accessible and dry between uses.
