The Crutch Pod that we purchased has been extremely useful, attached to one of my wife's crutches it carries the portable telephone, hankies etc. It has been much talked about by the 'physios' and at her next appointment I am giving them your web address - they will either order some or pass on the website. This is a really useful bit of kit - rating - 4.5. I would recommend it.

I am very satisfied with the Prima Outdoor Grab Rail, it was just what we needed. However, it would have been an asset if the 4 screws that were required had been supplied with it as we had a problem acquiring the correct ones. We give it 4 out of 5 rate. M.schofield.
I was extremely satisfied with the Arthritis Grip Cane Walking Stick. I give it 4 out of 5 as I would have preferred another hole for adjustment, otherwise it was perfect. B.Slayer.
This Floor Mounted Folding Rail was bought for a customer of mine whose wife had managed to pull the electric towel rail off the wall. She was using it as an aid to lift herself off the toilet. As with many properties these days the walls are just stud and plaster board so anything wall mounted would not last. This floor mounted model fitted the bill nicely and with 6 bolts attaching it to the concrete floor, it's good and solid so gives confidence to the user. J Haynes
I am very pleased with the Ringo Harley Proform Cushion and would rate it a 4 out of 5. Thank you. W.Boon
These comfort and style crutches are much easier to use, more comfortable and more stable than standard NHS crutches. The gave me the confidence to graduate onto sticks just 10 days after a total hip replacement.
The sock/stocking aid was bought for my 84 year old Mother who has had a hip replacement. She found it very easy to put on socks and it has been a very handy aid to her independence. She found it more fiddly to put on her tights with it, but nevertheless, with patience, it still worked well.
The sock puller works and is a good buy. But a bit expensive.
The Skoota let wrap has been brilliant. Used for a elderly person with circulation problems.
The Assist a tray is very useful. It is built well and easy to use.
The easyfit raised toilet seat is very useful for extra height and less strain on the knees.
The upeasy cushion worked well in a lounge chair but wasn't so successful in a dining chair due to the cushion being slightly too deep so overhung the dining chair making it difficult to sit on properly.
The walking stick has good weight and balance, so my wife finds it easy to use.
This was easier to use than a conventional knife, with the angled handle. However, I did find it still required quite a lot of pressure to cut through apples, for example, as I was using one hand only.
This is the second Walker Pouch I have had for my Father and I find it easy to attach and he finds it eases his life.
The kettle tipper has become a valuable piece of equipment whilst our learners are working in the kitchen. We have a couple of learners who find it difficult to handle and tip a kettle or jug at the same time.
My powerchair has a headrest which made it difficult to find suitable waterproof protection in rain. Although not designed for wheelchairs, the skoota kape adapts nearly perfectly for my situation and protects both myself and the chair from the elements and actually makes the inside surprisingly warm. Brilliant!
I bought the knife for my mum as she was finding it harder to use a standard knife due to loss of grip in her hands. She is really pleased with it. She has used it pretty much every day and says it has made preparing meals much easier.
The Harley mattress tilter as described and works well so 4 out of 5.
My foot is rather too wide for the 'U' shape of the frame, but with a little juggling I am able to use the frame. After a few weeks of trial and error I am finding it useful.
