Easy-Up
Easy-Up is an ingenious technical aid designed to simplify daily tasks when you don’t have the use of both hands.
With this device, it becomes possible to perform actions that would normally require a firm two-handed grip.
Simply place a can, jar, bottle, or any other container on the Easy-Up’s surface: the system creates a vacuum that holds the object firmly in place. The user can then manipulate or open it with one hand, effortlessly and safely.
Once the Easy-Up is turned off, the suction disappears, and the object is easily released.
Price: €259
Subtitles French, German, English, Danish available via YouTube.
How Easy-Up Works and Its Benefits
- Just the right amount of assistance: Easy-Up does not replace the user but provides support, enabling individuals to perform actions that are normally possible, even with reduced capabilities. handigood.com
- Natural Integration: It adapts to normal daily activities, especially in the kitchen, which reduces frustration and encourages the person to remain active in their routines. handigood.com
- Boosts Morale and Confidence: The feeling of being able to ‘do it oneself’ despite physical limitations helps rebuild confidence and personal autonomy. handigood.com
- Useful in Rehabilitation: After an operation or injury (e.g., shoulder, wrist), Easy-Up acts as a safety net for household tasks, allowing earlier participation in daily activities. handigood.com
