Easy-Up®
Assistive device for people with partial paralysis, arthritis or reduced function in the arm or hand
The vacuum holder, Easy-Up, is a tool for those who find themselves in need of a helping hand. Whether you’re cooking with a child in the kitchen, need to use both hands, have lost some hand strength with age, have arthritis, or any other reduced function in your hands, Easy-Up is here for you.
Easy-Up acts as the helping hand that, with a single press, creates a vacuum to securely attach an object to its surface while also anchoring itself to the countertop. Now, you can freely work with the object without worrying about it tipping over or sliding.
Families with children
Seniors
Individuals with arthritis or weak hands
Individuals with hemiplegia
Easy-Up is one of our most popular products and is designed for anyone in need of an extra hand. It is welfare technology aimed at helping families with children, seniors, arthritis patients, and individuals with hemiplegia or other functional impairments in their arms and hands.
Easy-Up is available with accessory packs, which include the carton holder, soda can holder, Easy-Mini for small objects, Easy-Warm for pans and pots, and Easy-Release for opening jars, like jam jars.
Easy-Up can be used to secure food and beverages, bowls, pots, pans, pill jars, and anything else that fits on its surface or in one of the accessory parts.
Objects placed on the platform are held in place by a vacuum while Easy-Up itself is attached to the work surface by the same vacuum.
You can freely work with objects placed on Easy-Up, and many everyday containers can easily be opened and closed with just one hand. As long as the device is on, a vacuum is maintained, keeping the item on the platform and Easy-Up securely on the work surface.
When Easy-Up is turned off, the vacuum quickly decreases, and the object is released.
Easy-Up’s versatility makes it a useful tool for a wide range of users with different needs. Here are some examples of how it can be useful in the kitchen for various groups:
Easy-Up can be used with children in the kitchen to hold small packets or containers of ingredients that children might find difficult to hold while pouring or measuring. This can make cooking more accessible and less messy for them.
Seniors who may have reduced hand strength can use Easy-Up to secure spice jars or small bottles, making it easier to open them without having to hold onto them.
Cooking assistance, in terms of holding glasses, pots, and bowls to prevent them from sliding, can make meal preparation safer and more enjoyable.
For individuals with arthritis, Easy-Up can be an excellent tool for securing objects without having to grip or squeeze them, reducing strain and pain in hands and joints.
Easy-Up can also be used to secure containers while they are opened with another device or with both hands, reducing the need for strong hand usage for both holding and opening.
Easy-Up can assist individuals with hemiplegia by securing various kitchen tools or ingredients steadily, allowing them to be operated with the functional hand. By securing things like a bowl for mixing or when opening bags, Easy-Up can help maximize independence and quality of life for cooking tasks and other tasks at home.
These examples illustrate how Easy-Up can be adapted to support different users with unique needs, making kitchen activities or other tasks at home more accessible and pain-free for everyone.
