About the solution
Let's help people keep their dignity and independence with personal hygiene!
For example, if a patient is going to get ankle surgery the doctor would prescribe crutches so they could follow their care instructions of no weight baring and be independent. What if a patient has to get hip or spinal surgery. What does the doctor prescribe to help them not bend or twisting more than 90 degrees? Would they have someone else take care of their personal hygiene for them?
This is where the FreedomWand could help people with limited range of motion keep their dignity and independence with personal hygiene. What makes the FreedomWand different from other toileting aids is that it is:
• 4 Tools In One -- Not only does it hold toilet tissue, it also holds a shaver, loofah, and ointment applicator
• Multi-Length -- The FreedomWand can be used at 7'', 14'', and 21''. Extra extensions are available to purchase to add an additional 4'' to the FreedomWand.
• Portable -- The FreedomWand comes apart into 3 pieces and comes with a 100% cotton carry bag making it easy for people to live an active and independent life.
