Why Choose the Goldfern Sock Assist Tool for Dressing After Hip or Knee Surgery?

The Goldfern Sock Assist Tool makes putting on socks and stockings possible without bending down, which is especially important for people recovering from hip or knee surgery where deep flexion is restricted. The flexible three-finger design gently shapes itself around the foot, the terry cloth exterior grips the sock firmly in place, and the smooth nylon interior allows the foot to glide in without resistance. Extra-long 74 cm straps with easy-to-grip loop handles mean the entire process requires no bending or reaching toward the floor.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Sock Assist Tool work?

The sock is stretched over the flexible frame, which is then positioned on the floor in front of you. You slide your foot into the sock-covered frame and use the 74 cm straps to pull it up and onto your foot, then remove the frame by pulling the straps clear — all without bending down.

Is it suitable for use after hip replacement surgery?

Yes, it is ideal for post-hip and post-knee surgery recovery where bending past 90 degrees is restricted by medical advice. The long straps allow the entire process to be completed while seated upright, keeping the hip within safe limits.

Will it work with compression stockings or thicker socks?

The terry cloth outer layer grips most sock types including standard socks and light compression stockings. For very firm graduated compression garments, a dedicated stocking donner may be more effective, but the tool handles most everyday and moderate compression socks well.

Is the Sock Assist Tool available for delivery across New Zealand?

Yes, MoveSmart stocks and delivers the Sock Assist Tool to customers throughout New Zealand. It is a lightweight, compact product that arrives quickly and requires no assembly.
