  1. Ring-Pen
    Ring-Pen is so helpful
    Review by R. Millard Posted on 01/04/2025
    I have severe arthritis in my hands, a trigger finger, and following a nasty fall ( breaking my right wrist) I have now got a distorted wrist which cannot be set. I was so frustrated not to be able to write with a pen without the pain becoming too much. I have always kept a diary and write all my own cards etc. This ring-pen is a real life changer and I am back to being able to do more of the things I want to do

  9. Flexyfoot Open Cuff Comfort Grip Crutches (Black - Pair)
    Excellent quality
    Review by A. McIntyre Posted on 30/03/2025
    Crutches are really good, the cuff and the comfort grip handles are comfortable to use and they are lighter than other crutch brands too. Have had a few issues on wet surfaces as described in the item listing with the foot slipping so greater care is needed but the flexyfoot is much superior to a standard one. Will mention that you need to check the height range as I'm 5 foot 3 in and cannot adjust them any shorter than last pin, it's something I didn't consider before purchase, my fault. Overall good item

  10. Folding Shower Chair
    Shower chair
    Review by L. Beaumont Posted on 30/03/2025
    Good sturdy, substantial chair for my husband in the shower. He as Parkinson’s and is also awaiting a knee replacement so is unable to stand in the shower. Folds up (although we can’t get it completely flat) for storage. Perfect for his needs.

  11. Dycem Non-Slip Netting
    Great product
    Review by I. McMillan Posted on 30/03/2025
    Very happy with this. It's better quality than some similar non-slip matting and very easy to cut to the required size

  12. Incontinence Chair Pads (Red - Pack of 3)
    Absolutely Brilliant!
    Review by K. Ait-Aoudia Posted on 29/03/2025
    These seat covers are truly amazing. I only leak now and again when I cough and it's so tiring having to keep changing covers but these absorb and you continue to feel dry and the chair seat remains dry. Very comfortable to sit on, no nasty smells. Absolutely perfect for saving embarrassing moments and they wash really well. Definitely recommend.

    Review by P. Loxton Posted on 23/03/2025

  51. High-Density Pressure Relief Cushion
    Many thanks
    Review by M. Lewis Posted on 22/03/2025
    This is an incredibly comfortable cushion for full time use but be aware that it will slide if you have an open back box frame. There's no velcro etc to stick it to the seat hence the 4 stars. It's also super sweaty so I highly advise a cover if you can.

    Effective
    Review by t. mynott Posted on 21/03/2025
    This has really helped my legs. I'm getting used to getting in and out if bed with it but the pros win over the one con Excellent delivery time and the cage is very well made

    Very useful !
    Review by C C Posted on 20/03/2025

    Review by Sally Posted on 19/03/2025
    I bought two of these for taking to cafes, travelling on buses, trains, park benches etc. to help avoid triggering my coccyx pain from an injury many years ago. They are lightweight, not bulky, easy to clean, and nice soft covers. Also work well at home on soft furnishings like my sofa or armchair, also use it on my dinning chair when eating if required.

  73. Tetrapod Small Base
    Excellent walking aid
    Review by Alison Posted on 19/03/2025
    I bought this for my father who struggles to lift his left leg since having a stroke. His posture is much better using this and he is walking more upright. The tetrapod feet give him much more stability. I'd highly recommend it, it's easy to adjust the height and light weight but strong.

    Now that I have my new hip, I'm going on my first holiday in three years and only taking carry-on, I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to take my long grabber, which I still need to dress easily. This folding reacher grabber solves the problem. It folds easily and works just like the regular kind. Nice and sturdy. I'm delighted! Many thanks!

  76. StayPut Wet Room Grip Mat (StayPut Anti-Slip Wet Room Matting - 90 x 100cm)
    Not laid yet
    Review by C. Hussey Posted on 18/03/2025
    The matting has not been laid yet. Bought to make the bathroom floor safer for my husband, but he was admitted to hospital before it arrived. As soon as we know when he’s going to be discharged, it will be laid. We know it will be good because we have been in other places where this type of flooring has been used for safety

    Review by E. BREEZE Posted on 17/03/2025

    Great
    Review by V. Brook Posted on 17/03/2025
    Bought 3 on offer at a great price. These one handle lightweight mugs are great for my mum who has the shakes. It means she can make a cuppa and take it with her into the living room with no spills, and with the spout it’s easy to drink from and again no spillage. Would buy again.

  94. Stay Tray With Bean Bag
    Super little tray and big enough for a full size dinner plate
    Review by Jacquie Mitchell Posted on 16/03/2025
    Super little tray and big enough for a full size dinner plate, the bean bag is filled to just right amount thereby allowing stability when on your knee. Only drawback is the Velcro tabs for fixing aren’t very long,

  95. Waterproof Bandage Protector (Short Leg)
    Does what it says on the tin
    Review by A. Pye Posted on 16/03/2025
    I was dubious that it would keep my plaster cast dry, but have used it a few times and it seems to have done so. It is easy enough to get on, but is very large to wear and a bit cumbersome, but as it is one size, that's understandable. It is a bit more tricky to get off, whilst keeping the plaster dry, but have discovered if you towel it down, before removing it, it helps to reduce any potential wetting of the laster

  96. Dovedale Adjustable Height and Detachable Arms Commode
    Ideal
    Review by JAC Posted on 16/03/2025

  99. Prima Modular Perching Stool - with Arms and Back
    Perfect Fit
    Review by U. Astin Posted on 16/03/2025
    My husbands Occupational Therapist ordered a shower seat for him from the NHS but it was too wide for the sliding door shower enclosure so I was relieved to find this perching stool that is suitable for getting wet as there is no padding in the seat. It is ideal for my husband as he is unsteady on his feet.

  100. Darco Support APB (Extra Large)
    Just what was needed
    Review by R. Mckenna Posted on 15/03/2025
