Health Info
Many of our products provide a number of health benefits:
Our bookholders
Our desktop bookholders – the Bookchairs and Bookease, as well as our floor standing unit – the Hold It – all help to position text at eye level for optimum ergonomic comfort. This helps to relieve neck ache, back ache, and is also good for many other conditions including arthritic hands, where holding a book for long periods may be uncomfortable. There are also advantages for those suffering visual impairment as the text is brought nearer to the reader’s eye.
Our laptop supports
Our Type & Write and the Hold It as laptop supports raise the screen up, providing a more ergonomically correct viewing position, thus preventing neck and back problems.
Our writing stands
Our Type & Write and the Hold It as writing stands can prevent and relieve aches & pains including headaches, neck & back pain, shoulder fatigue and eye strain thereby improving work efficiency. It’s also particularly important for children to learn correct posture at an early age so as to acquire good habits.
Our floor standing bookholder, laptop support and writing stand in one
The Hold It combines many of the above advantages in one product. It helps to alleviate neck and back ache, assist with tired or arthritic hands, and encourage ergonomically correct posture for reading, typing and writing. It is also very helpful for many disabilities or temporary casualties where mobility is restricted.
Our magnifiers
As you approach sixty you are likely to need more than three times as much light for reading as you did in your youth. It’s just part of the inescapable process of ageing. The 20/20 vision that you may have once enjoyed in your youth inevitably decreases over time. We offer a range of high quality magnifiers which can make it easier for you to see and concentrate for longer and in more comfort. All opticians will advise that magnifiers will assist in reading small print.
Our booklights
Our booklights provide extra light when reading books, recommended by opticians in most situations. They are also particularly helpful when not wishing to disturb your partner in bed, so helping them to achieve proper rest, without interfering with your independence and wish to read.
Our photo holders
Our hospital Picture Pockets are a neat solution for Hospitals where the bedside table is generally small and cannot accommodate many cards. Nurses can spend their time doing their job rather than spending hours picking up cards which have fallen on the floor. Patients can continue to glance over at their cards, and experience the good feelings of knowing that they are cared for, which may aid recovery.
