Description
These Dual Control Training Scissors were developed under consultation with occupational therapists to assist clients who:
– Have poor visual motor coordination
– Lacks the strength to complete the cutting action
– Has a tremor and cannot place the scissors at a given starting point
– Has poor background/foreground differentiation
The user uses the loop furthest from the blade, whilst the person supporting them places their fingers over the user’s hand and through the loops nearest the blade to assist with placement, guidance, and strength.
Our OT recommends these good for…
– Re-education on scissor use
– Supporting users who are unable to hold scissors independently
– Demonstrating scissor use to those who find it difficult to follow instructions
– Encouraging bilateral hand use
– Reduced grip strength and motor control
– Supporting those with a visual impairment or a tremor
– Developing confidence in reluctant scissor users
Available Sizes:
45 mm Round Ended Blade
Blue Scissors for the Right Hand, Green Scissors for the Left Hand
