About this project
Tube Opener is a special paint tube opener and closer designed for individuals with poor fine motor skills. The really amazing thing about this solution is that the team that designed it between the PreTOM and the TOM were able to successfully test the solution with her. The mechanism holds the paint tube in place - while using the pliers to remove or replace the cap to the tube.
The challenge
She has a challenging time opening and closing her paint tubes - which means her expensive paint keeps drying out.
Who it helps
Idit is an artist with Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
