What made a difference in the lives of these people?
NuMuv Grip-Aid
A simple device created thoughtfully for the ease of patients called the NuMuv Grip-Aid. It is an ergonomically designed device made from medical grade silicone, and has eased the life of those afflicted by hand discomfort. NuMuv Products, the company that manufactures the Grip-Aid has spent years in research and thought to come up with this simple to use device that enables patients to lead an easier life. What the device succeeds at is giving the patient a better grip and more area of coverage for holding. With greater graspable area, routine tasks that seemed hard have now become possible.
Ronald Obmaces, the CEO of NuMuv Products says;
"This device has worked so well with our patients in the field of rheumatology, we are now opening up to all aspects of people with hand discomfort and are excited to introduce it to them!"
For those suffering from Arthritis and Rheumatism, it is imperative that they learn to manage themselves as it is a lifelong condition. However, with devices and tools that aid daily life tasks, they can manage to be independent. NuMuv, with its first offering of the Grip-Aid aims to do just that.
