Product Information

Full details

This white Easy Grip Tubing from NRS Healthcare is designed for individuals with weak or painful grips, offering an enhanced hold on everyday items like cutlery and pens. Its key benefit is making daily tasks more manageable by increasing the diameter and providing a soft, non-slip surface. A minor caveat is that the 9mm bore size is best suited for larger handled items, with other sizes available for thinner handles.

Troubleshooting

Tubing is too tight to slide onto the handle.

Ensure the handle is not significantly wider than the tubing's external diameter. You may need to slightly widen the opening of the tubing or consider a size with a larger bore.

Tubing slips off the handle.

Ensure the tubing is cut to the correct length to create a snug fit. If the handle is tapered, ensure the tubing is placed on the widest part or consider using a small amount of adhesive suitable for foam if necessary (ensure it is non-toxic).

Tubing has a tear or feels brittle.

Inspect the tubing for damage. If damaged, it should be replaced. Ensure proper care is taken during cutting and application to avoid stress.
