Frequently asked questions
Can I cut these to a custom size?
Yes, each 12-inch tube is designed to be easily trimmed with standard scissors, allowing you to create a custom fit for any specific utensil or tool handle.
Is this tubing easy to keep clean?
Absolutely. The foam is dishwasher safe (up to 180° F). Because it features a closed-cell construction, it is also non-absorbent, making it both hygienic and simple to maintain.
Will these help with limited hand dexterity?
Yes, these are specifically engineered to provide a larger, more comfortable surface area, which helps individuals with reduced hand strength or limited dexterity maintain better control and grip on their daily tools.
Is the material slippery when wet?
No, the tubing features a specialized slip-resistant coating designed to maintain a firm hold during use, even if you are using it in a kitchen or dining environment.
Does the foam absorb water or food residue?
No, this is made of closed-cell foam, which is non-absorbent. It will not soak up water or debris, making it much easier to keep clean compared to traditional porous foam.
Can these be used on pens and tools?
Yes, they are highly versatile. While popular for kitchen utensils, they can be used to build up the handles of pens, art supplies, or various hand tools to improve overall control.
How many tubes are included in a pack?
Each order includes a pack of six (6) individual 12-inch tubes.
Are these suitable for occupational therapy settings?
Yes, these are highly recommended for occupational therapy setups and clinical environments where patients need support for improved motor control and independent daily living.
What is the primary benefit of the closed-cell construction?
The closed-cell design makes the tubing highly durable and moisture-resistant, ensuring it keeps its shape and remains hygienic over long-term use.
Is the tubing difficult to slide onto handles?
The tubing is designed to be flexible enough for easy application while maintaining a firm fit once installed. It works best when slid over standard kitchen utensil handles or similarly sized tools.
