toothpaset holder

toothpaset holder - open-source assistive technology working model by the TOM International Community community

The challenge

This project is needed because people with one working arm often cannot hold a toothbrush and squeeze toothpaste at the same time. The solution enables them to apply toothpaste independently, increasing accessibility and reducing the need for assistance.

Who it helps

People with one arm or limited use of one arm who want to apply toothpaste to their toothbrush independently, without needing assistance from another person.

How it works

The stand securely holds the toothpaste tube in place, allowing the user to insert the toothbrush and dispense toothpaste with one hand. This enables people with one working arm to brush their teeth independently and safely.

The solution is a toothpaste stand that allows users to insert and secure a toothpaste tube with one hand. It enables them to apply toothpaste to a toothbrush easily using only one hand, making the process simple, stable, and independent.

Tools needed

PC or MAC I7 +
