Functional Use: This device is an opener shaped to the snap-style cap of a pain-reliever bottle. It gives more surface to press and lift the cap, and prints in a large and a small version.
Relevant Occupations: Medication Management
Client Factors: May be relevant when finger strength or fine motor control is reduced.
Performance Skills: The client pushes up on the opener to press and lift the cap instead of pinching and prying it off with the fingertips.
Safety Considerations: This could reduce the cap's child-resistant function, so a home with children should use another way to store the medication safely.
Limitations: It is sized to specific snap-cap bottles, so it may not fit other caps. It is not a cleared medical device, so its use must be a clinical decision made by the treating occupational therapist.
-
Issues: None
Recommendations: The patient may need some education on how to properly use the device.
Ease of use: Easy
Test results or review: The part works as intended.
