Functional Use: This device is a bag carrier that distributes the load across the hand rather than on thin straps on the fingers. It prints in small, medium, and large.

Relevant Occupations: Shopping and Community Mobility

Client Factors: May be relevant when grip strength or muscle endurance is reduced.

Performance Skills: The wide handle and hooks carry the load, so the client lifts and transports the bags with a hook grasp rather than managing thin straps, and sustains the carry with less grip effort.

Safety Considerations: The load is limited by the printed material and filament strength, so a heavy bag that exceeds the handle's capacity can cause the device to fail. A rigid filament, higher wall count, and higher infill help. However, it is important to keep loads reasonable.

Limitations: The person still carries the full weight through one hand and arm. It is not a cleared medical device, so its use must be a clinical decision made by the treating occupational therapist.

Issues: None

Recommendations: None

Ease of use: Easy

Test results or review: The part works as intended.
