The Small Item gripping aid is a unique product that allows you to hold small diameter items at any angle. It consists of a neoprene glove and a velcro-on palm pad that can be swapped quickly. The glove is secured around the hand and wrist with two Velcro straps, while the palm pad is a velcro-backed square with a plastic clamp attached. Simply place the item inside the clamp, pull two ribbon loops to close, velcro the palm pad to the glove, and you're good to go!

Product Description
The Small Item Gripping Aid is designed to help children and teenagers with disabilities hold and use small-diameter objects independently. Whether it’s make-up, toiletries, art supplies, or office tools, this innovative aid provides a secure and adjustable grip, making everyday tasks easier and more accessible.
Why Choose This Gripping Aid?
Unlike standard gripping aids, this unique design allows users to hold items at any angle—ideal for a range of activities, including:
- Painting on an easel
- Applying mascara or nail polish
- Playing musical instruments
- Using cutlery, toothbrushes, or pens
This adaptable aid gives young users the freedom to position their hands comfortably for various hobbies, self-care tasks, and creative pursuits.
How It Works
The gripping aid features a two-part system:
- Neoprene glove – Soft, breathable, and adjustable, secured with Velcro straps for a snug yet comfortable fit. The straps can be tightened easily, even with limited finger strength.
- Velcro-backed palm pad with clamp – This securely holds small items in place. Simply insert the object into the clamp and pull the ribbon loops to tighten. Once secured, attach the palm pad to the glove, and it is ready to use.
