Product Description

The General Purpose gripping aid is essential for many tasks – at home, in the gym or out and about. Whether you’ve had a stroke, suffered a spinal injury or have any condition which reduces your hand function. The gripping aid could unlock any number of activities for you:

Durable and versatile

  • Working out in the gym (e.g. holding free weights, using a rowing machine)
  • DIY at home (using a saw or hammer)
  • Holding a pool or snooker cue
  • Rowing or Kayaking
  • Gardening
  • Holding a glass or bottle

“My Aid is still being used daily, at 5 years running, by me and I’m still putting it through hell. Still using it for shovelling snow, gas weed whipping, and even chain sawing (though very carefully), it’s smudged and sometimes is dirty, but it still keeps going. Hope to hear from you soon and thank you for the best products.”
Dave Genik

How does the General Purpose gripping aid work?
  • The gripping aids function by tightening the strap in the upper section, which gently pulls the hand into a fist shape, adjusting to hold items in the palm. The wrist strap is also adjustable, and the aid is padded to reduce chafing. The video contains instructions on how to put the aids on.
Which size General Purpose gripping Aid should I buy?
  • Available in ‘Small’ (for adults with especially petite hands and children aged over five).

Made of Strong Stuff
Active Hands aids are both kind to the skin and made to last. The aids are built from tough webbing and comfortable but durable neoprene (wet suit material). They’re designed to withstand regular use, even for strenuous activities. All aids are machine washable.

Please note:

  • These are sold as a single gripping aid either left or right.
  • If you have missing fingers or hand parts the General Purpose may not be suitable for you.
