Curved Grip Plastic Shoehorn 17 Inch - Long Handle Dressing Aid

17-Inch Long Handle Shoehorn with Ergonomic Curved Grip

Simplify your daily dressing routine and maintain independence with this thoughtfully designed 17-inch long handle shoehorn. Engineered specifically for individuals with limited mobility, flexibility challenges, or back pain, this essential dressing aid eliminates the need to bend, stoop, or strain when putting on shoes. The extended 17-inch length provides exceptional reach, allowing you to slip into footwear comfortably while standing upright or sitting in a chair.

Ergonomic Curved Handgrip Design

The signature curved handgrip represents a significant advancement over traditional straight shoehorns. This ergonomically contoured handle fits naturally in your palm, providing a secure, comfortable grip that reduces hand fatigue and gives you precise control during use. The curved design allows your wrist to remain in a neutral, relaxed position rather than forcing an awkward angle, making the shoehorn easier to grasp and maneuver—especially beneficial for individuals with arthritis, reduced grip strength, or hand dexterity limitations.

Enhanced Independence & Comfort

• Eliminates Bending & Straining: The generous 17-inch length means you never have to bend over, crouch down, or twist your back to put on shoes. This is particularly valuable for seniors, post-surgery patients, individuals with hip or knee replacements, pregnant women, or anyone experiencing back pain or mobility restrictions.
• Smooth Shoe Entry: The carefully contoured shoehorn blade glides effortlessly between your heel and the back of your shoe, guiding your foot smoothly into place without crushing the heel counter or damaging the shoe's structure. This gentle insertion protects both your footwear investment and your comfort.
• Versatile Footwear Compatibility: Works effectively with virtually all shoe types including dress shoes, athletic sneakers, casual loafers, boots, and slip-on styles. The universal design accommodates different shoe sizes, widths, and heel heights with equal ease.
• Durable Plastic Construction: Manufactured from high-quality, impact-resistant plastic that withstands daily use without cracking, breaking, or losing its shape. The smooth, rigid material provides the perfect balance of flexibility and strength for reliable, long-lasting performance.

Daily Living Aid for Multiple Populations

Ideal for seniors aging in place, rehabilitation patients, individuals recovering from surgery, people with chronic conditions affecting mobility or flexibility, pregnant women, and anyone seeking to reduce physical strain during daily activities. This adaptive equipment promotes dignity, independence, and self-sufficiency by enabling users to dress themselves without assistance.

The bright blue color provides excellent visibility, making the shoehorn easy to locate in closets, bedrooms, or entryways. The lightweight construction means it's effortless to handle and can be easily transported when traveling or moving between rooms.

Healthcare & Home Use Applications

Widely used in assisted living facilities, nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, hospitals, occupational therapy programs, and home health settings as part of comprehensive daily living aid programs. Occupational therapists frequently recommend long-handle shoehorns as essential adaptive equipment for patients working to maintain or regain independence in activities of daily living (ADLs).

The extended handle reduces the risk of falls by eliminating unstable bending and balancing positions that can lead to accidents. By allowing users to put on shoes safely while seated or standing upright, this shoehorn contributes to fall prevention strategies and overall safety in home and facility environments.

Quality Construction & Reliability

Manufactured to consistent quality standards with attention to ergonomic design principles and user needs. The smooth, seamless construction prevents snagging on socks or hosiery, while the rigid blade maintains its shape and effectiveness through thousands of uses. Easy to clean with soap and water or standard disinfectant wipes for hygiene maintenance.
