Functional Use: This device works by using two rings to complete the task. The inner ring opens the nail polish lid, and the outer ring holds the bottle steady while a person paints their nails.

Relevant Occupations: Personal Hygiene and Grooming

Client Factors: May be relevant when finger strength, fine motor control, or finger range of motion is reduced.

Performance Skills: The rings open the lid and hold the brush, which lowers the demand on pinching and on coordinating both hands to open and steady a small bottle and brush.

Safety Considerations: Find a nail polish bottle whose cap fits the device and is easy to open. If the nail polish brush or bottle spills, it could create a hazard.

Limitations: Not all polish bottles fit. Older or stuck caps can be difficult to open. It is not a cleared medical device, so its use must be a clinical decision made by the treating occupational therapist.

Issues: Not all nail polish bottles fit into the device. Older nail polish bottles with stuck caps may not be able to be opened with the device.

Recommendations: Find a certain brand or nail polish with a bottle design that works with the device.

Ease of use: Easy

Test results or review: The part works as intended when the proper nail polish bottles are used.
