Helping Hand Company Ezy-on Small Compression Stocking Aid and Sock Applicator. Dressing Aids for Putting on Compression Support Socks for Women and Men

Received next day for my wife who was prescribed support stockings but no applicator. This is an essential piece of equipment required to apply medical grade support stockings without incurring injury even for a strong and fit person. If you've had surgery or are frail it is likely to cause serious problems and further injury even with assistance. The use of this appliance means you can step into the pre-streached foot and pull up the leg easily. The use of rubber kitchen gloves is great for smoothing out any wrinkles or misalignment.

produce is easy to use and is very well made.

After wrestling unsuccessfully to put on my compression socks I bought this product, it works wonderfully. On reflection I should have bought the taller option as the small one is a bit fiddly but on the whole I am very pleased.

I have just got to the stage where due to limited hip movement I strugle to put on socks. I didn't want something that looked like it belonged in a hospital and it had be discrete but practical. This looks great and would not look out of place in a modern bedroom. As far as ease of use is concerned if you follow the four instrucitonal pictures you will have no issues. although frankly you should find your feet just move in the right direction without trying. Works with everything from trainer socks to knee high dress socks. My only problem is, that it is so easy I am tempted to use it even on the good days when I can manage without! EXCELLENT!

My husband has extremely swollen legs and feet. Tried 3 separate "gadgets", but his foot would not go into the aperture to allow him to put on his made to measure knee length socks. Saw that this gadget mentioned being useful for compression socks so ordered it without much hope of success. Socks no use if you can't get them on. We got them on within 5 minutes of it's arrival,, which was only an hour ago, and his first word was "WONDERFUL". I realise there is a bit of a knack which is when the foot is well into the device, and you feel the heel is nearly there, point your toes upwards, and the sock will go over the heel, and the length then goes on automatically. Keep trying, as I have a heart condition and just couldn't cope with trying to pull them on, with no success , became very frustrated and upset. Small and reasonable price but worth it's weight in gold ( as it is light also) Would highly recommend. Dee ( Derbyshire)

This works well for a carer trying to put on a patient’s stocking, or for a strong flexible person, I could stretch the stocking over, bend down and put it on myself with easy. It’s well made and strong. But for my mum, who’s nearly eighty and needs to put on her own stockings independently , it didn’t work. Despite having the flexibility of a gymnast, she has not the strength to stretch the stocking over the device. She’s back to pulling them on laboriously each morning. The quest for a helpful tool goes on. Item returned.

This is a well made piece of equipment which does what it claims to do. However, you need to be able to lift your leg up as high as the frame in order to put your foot into the sock. It’s roughly 20cm which isn’t much but if, like my husband, you have mobility difficulties it’s impossible. I bought it as I need something to help get his socks on without causing pain in my arthritic hands. So now I just use it as a sock stretcher which does give some relief.

This has proved so helpful. Would recommend it.

Mit etwas Übung ist es eine sehr gute Hilfe zum anziehen der Kompressionsstrümpfe. Man braucht etwas bis es funktioniert aber damn ist es eine große Erleichterung zum anziehen.

I did not see this being helpful at all. In fact, I could not get it to work at all. Waste of money. I have to return it.
