DRESSING AIDS FOR PEOPLE
RECOVERING FROM BROKEN BONES
With
an orthopedic injury such as a broken bone, dressing can become a tedious
and exhausting chore. When facing life in a cast these specially selected
dressing aids can come in very handy! Broken Beauties
looked at the most common challenges that we face when dressing. We button
buttons, zip zippers, put on socks/shoes, pull on sweaters, etc. We hope
that we have found the dressing aids that will serve your specific need.
If there is something else that you need, please don’t hesitate
to give us a call on our toll free line at: 1-866-692-1916 or at customerservice@brokenbeauties.com
and let us help you find it. We can arrange to have almost any dressing
aid on the market dropped shipped to you from the manufacturer in just
a few days.
Buttoning buttons is suddenly
next to impossible in a cast when suffering from broken bones. This
is a great tool to help you with dressing.

Sock Assist
- Puts On Socks Without Reaching Down to Your Feet.
The Sock Assist is the easiest way to put on your
socks if you have difficulty bending at the waist due to a broken
bone or orthopedic illness. People in arm slings or arm casts, and
people with leg casts, will find it easy to use as well.
The wide foot bed accommodates feet of all sizes and the textured
surface prevents the foot from sticking. The side wings and contoured
walls keep the sock in place until it is pulled all the way up the
calf. The Sock Assist works with most socks, and can
be used with elastic compression knee-high socks or stockings.
