Jar Opener

Device Description

The Jar Opener For Weak Hands & Seniors With Arthritis is an assistive technology item designed to help individuals with limited grip strength twist or pry off jar lids and bottle caps.
Its ergonomic handle and toothed grip engage lids securely, reducing the force needed to open sealed containers and using leverage from the tool rather than hand strength alone.
This item may benefit individuals with arthritis, reduced hand strength, limited range of motion, tremors, neurological conditions, or age-related changes in hand function.
The long handle provides extra leverage, while the toothed section securely grips lid edges. The opener handles a range of lid sizes and can assist with stubborn vacuum seals.
The item is nine-inches by five and a half-inches and weights a half a pound.
It can open lids with up to five and three-tenths-inches.
Features:
Ergonomic handle that improves leverage and reduces force required to twist lids.
Serrated metal teeth grip lids to prevent slipping.
Works with a variety of jar, bottle, and pull-tab can lids.
Durable stainless-steel and plastic construction.
