Complete Hip Replacement Kit

The Complete Hip Replacement Kit includes eight items that can aid an individual during the recovery period after hip surgery to remain as independent as possible. The items encompass the most common household aids to assist the person with dressing, bathroom issues, and to protect them from bending over to reach for something from the floor or out of arm's length.

When recovering from hip replacement, the individual isn't as mobile as before the surgery. Especially with movements such as bending over, sitting down, or reaching out too far that can cause pain and possibly a falling accident. The eight assistive devices comprise common household items to complete daily activities in a safe manner.

The items included to assist with dressing are a sock aid that helps to put on socks, two pairs of 26-inch long elastic shoelaces that are easier and quicker to tie, and a stainless-steel shoehorn that doesnt require users to bend down in order to put on their shoes, possibly losing balance, straining, and re-injuring the hip area. Also included is a dressing stick which is a combination hook/pusher device that helps with pulling up slacks, removing socks, and putting on shirts and jackets.

In addition, the bathroom assistive tools offer safety and support, such as a bendable, contoured bath sponge and a raised toilet seat which makes it easier to sit down and get back up from the toilet.

One of the most essential aids is a reacher of either 26 or 32 inches of length, that will help pick up items from the floor, from the end of a sofa, or from a shelf or closet that is not within arms length.
