Functional Use: This device is a base with clips that holds a sandwich or storage bag open and upright, so a person can fill it without holding it open with the other hand.
Relevant Occupations: Meal Preparation
Client Factors: May be relevant when pinch strength, muscle endurance, or bilateral coordination is reduced.
Performance Skills: The holder keeps the bag open, so the client fills it with one hand rather than holding the bag open and filling it at the same time, which lowers the bilateral coordination demand.
Safety Considerations: The holder keeps the bag open but does not support the weight of the contents, so fill it on a counter to avoid a spill.
Limitations: A heavy or unsteady bag can pull free or tip if the device is used improperly. It is not a cleared medical device, so its use must be a clinical decision made by the treating occupational therapist.
-
Issues: None
Recommendations: You need to duplicate the sleeves and bag holder clips before printing. The design is meant to hold the bag open, not support the weight of the objects in the bag.
Ease of use: Easy
Test results or review: The part works as intended.
