Active Hands

General Purpose Gripping Aid (AH1)

Our most versatile gripping aid, the AH1 can be used for a wide range of activities, including DIY, gardening and sports. It is a real asset for lifting weights, holding a snooker cue and, in the case of children, holding onto handlebars of a tricycle.

The General Purpose Aid functions by the tightening of a strap in the upper section, which gently pulls the hand into a fist shape, adjusting to hold items in the palm. The wrist strap is also adjustable and the aid is padded to reduce chafing.

The AH1 is available for right or left hand and comes in four sizes – Standard Adult, Large Adult, Children’s size (age approx 5-10 years) and Mini (for under fives). To find out which size is best for you, see the Active Hands Size Guide.

• Adult (standard and large) - £30 each aid
• Children’s - £28 each aid
• Mini - £25 each aid

Identical in design to the AH1, but without the padding, the AH2 may be worn over gloves for outdoor activities.

• Standard Adult size only. Available for right or left hand - £20 each aid

Looped Exercise Aids (AH3)

Ideal for the gym, our Looped Exercise Aids feature strong loops which can be slipped over the handles of some exercise machines, and adjustable padded wrist straps. When not under tension the aids easily slide on and off the machine, allowing complete individual independence and ability to ‘let go’ during rest periods.

• Standard Adult size only. Sold only as a pair - £30 per pair
