Product Information
Full details
The Homecraft Stocking Donner is an essential adaptive dressing aid for individuals with limited mobility, back pain, or reduced hand strength who struggle to reach their feet. It provides the key benefit of simplifying the process of pulling on socks or compression stockings independently without straining. While it is highly effective for most standard socks, users with particularly narrow or non-slip footwear might require a period of adjustment to master the sliding technique.

Troubleshooting
Sock sliding off the frame during use
Ensure the heel of the sock is positioned deep enough into the center of the frame before starting.
Difficulty pulling the handles up
Ensure you are seated firmly and the device is placed directly in front of your feet on a level surface.
Fabric snagging on the frame
Inspect the frame for any dust or debris and wipe clean with a soft cloth to restore the smooth surface.

Setup is straightforward as the device comes pre-assembled; simply place it on a non-slip surface before use. It is compatible with almost all standard sock types and most medical-grade compression stockings. To maintain the device, wipe it down with a damp cloth and a mild detergent if it collects dust. Ensure the epoxy finish remains clean and free of debris to prevent any fabric from catching during the application process. Store the donner in a dry location when not in use.
