The stocking puller is a practical aid for people with limited mobility to make it easier to put on stockings. Bending down is no longer necessary. The product is easy to use. The customer must put the stocking over the folded donning aid. Depending on the size of the stocking, this requires some force. The prepared stocking puller is then placed on the floor and pulled over the foot using the grip loops on the two sufficiently long straps. The pre-bent shape of the product adapts to the foot and ensures a firm and effective hold. The terry cloth on the back ensures that the socks have a good grip and the smooth inside allows them to glide easily over the foot during the donning process. In addition, the product can be used with a wide range of stocking sizes and styles.
