Make dressing easier without pulling a top overhead or forcing your arms through closed sleeves. This adaptive long sleeve top opens fully along the shoulders, sleeves and sides, making it easier to dress with limited arm or shoulder movement.
The Velcro style opens almost completely flat, so the garment can be positioned around the wearer with minimal lifting or repositioning. This is particularly useful for carer-assisted dressing while seated or lying down.
Choose from two opening styles:
- Velcro Opening: opens almost completely flat and can be fastened section by section. Easy to adjust and useful for one-handed or assisted dressing.
- Zip Opening: features a two-way zip with dual zipper pulls, allowing the opening to be adjusted from either direction while providing a secure closure.
Once fastened, the top looks much like a regular long sleeve top. The relaxed fit provides extra room around casts, bandages, dressings or swollen limbs.
Who it's designed for:
- Women recovering from shoulder, arm or upper-body surgery
People with limited shoulder or arm mobility;
- Anyone wearing a cast, sling, brace or post-operative dressing
- People with arthritis, reduced arm strength or one-handed dressing needs;
- Stroke rehabilitation and reduced upper-body mobility;
Carer-assisted dressing at home or in residential care.
How the opening works:
- Opens along both shoulders and the full length of the sleeves;
- Full side openings allow the garment to open wide rather than being pulled over the body;
- Open one or both sides as needed;
- Position the garment around the wearer, then fasten the Velcro or zip;
- Helps reduce overhead reaching, arm bending and unnecessary repositioning.
