Flosser Refill Stand
About this project
The Flosser Refill Stand is a small, 3D printed device that uses a static stand and large base to hold a flosser refill head and allow the user to easily place it on the handle.
The challenge
The Shepherd Center strives to increase patients' independence when
performing activities of daily living such as using oral hygiene tools.
Who it helps
Intended users of this Flosser Refill Stand are individuals with hemiplegia or
limited hand dexterity. This could lead to difficulty replacing flosser heads.
How it works
Intended users of this Flosser Refill Stand are individuals with hemiplegia or limited hand dexterity. This could lead to difficulty replacing flosser heads.
The Shepherd Center strives to increase patients' independence when performing activities of daily living such as using oral hygiene tools.
The Flosser Refill Stand limits the need for using two hands when replacing flosser heads, one holding the new flosser and one holding the handle, by using a static stand to position the head.
