Blue Jay Get Your Sock On Sock Aid, Wide, 5 Inch

The Blue Jay Get Your Sock On Sock Aid is a dressing aid designed to assist with sock donning without requiring the user to bend forward to reach the foot. The 5-inch wide molded plastic frame accommodates a wider range of sock sizes and foot widths than the standard 4-inch model, making it suitable for users who need additional frame width. The sock is placed over the frame, the frame is lowered to the floor using the long foam-handled cords, the foot is inserted, and the sock is pulled up by lifting the handles. The foam handles provide a comfortable, easy-to-grip surface, and the cord extends reach by over 30 inches. This is the Wide (5-inch) model. For the standard width (4-inch), see SKU BJ100100.

Ideal For

Occupational therapists recommending dressing aids for patients with limited forward reach, hip precautions, or reduced lower extremity flexibility will find the Blue Jay Sock Aid a standard, widely used option for assisted sock donning. Users with wider feet or who wear larger sock sizes will find the 5-inch wide frame accommodates a broader range of sock widths than the standard 4-inch model. Post-operative patients following hip or knee procedures who are under movement restrictions that limit forward bending will benefit from the 30-inch reach extension that allows sock donning from a seated position. Home health aides and caregivers assisting patients with lower-body dressing tasks will find the foam handles and simple technique easy to demonstrate and teach.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Wide and Standard models?
The Wide model (SKU BJ100103) has a 5-inch wide frame, suitable for users with wider feet or larger sock sizes. The Standard model (SKU BJ100100) has a 4-inch wide frame for standard sock sizes. If you are unsure which to choose, measure the widest part of your foot or check your sock size against the frame width.

How do I use a sock aid?
Place the sock over the plastic frame, pulling it down to the bottom of the frame. Hold the foam handles and lower the frame to the floor in front of your foot. Insert your foot into the frame and push your toes to the bottom of the sock. Pull the handles upward to slide the sock onto your foot and up your leg. Remove the frame by pulling the handles free.

Can this be used with compression socks?
Sock aids can be used with some compression socks, but thicker or higher-compression garments may be more difficult to place on the frame and pull up. A dedicated compression stocking donner may be more appropriate for high-compression garments. Consult your occupational therapist for guidance on the best tool for your specific compression sock type.
