BAZWNG-Button and Zip with No Grip

This post is about an interesting assistive aid i came across recently.



Shawn O’Bray is the owner of BAZWNG.
Website (https://bazwng.net/ ) has a store to purchase a BAZWNG as well as instructional videos on how to use it ,including a step by step instructional video as well as his story .

BAZWNG means: Button And Zip With No Grip

Mr Shawn is a quadriplegic and inventor of BAZWNG, an assistive device designed to allow people with limited or no grip to button and zip their pants.



BAZWNG’s are made of spring back stainless steel so they won’t rust or tarnish and they will not damage clothes in any way. They are ergonomically designed to stay in the zipper hole while zipping and every BAZWNG comes with a life time warranty and they are TSA verified for carry on in flights.

Moreover BAZWNG is not just for quadriplegics but can be used across many other conditions requiring assistance .
As it requires no grip what so ever it would also be very useful for people with only one hand or the use of only one hand such as after surgery or stroke or any other debilitating condition such as arthritis or after an amputation and can be used for children as well.

Assistance in activities of daily living is an integral component of rehabilitation and foundation of conquering independence.Of all, dressing self is reflected by many patients as the prioritized need.As Occupational therapist we specialize in bringing effective and strategically developed therapy goals.However there comes a plateau in rehabilitation or many a times an external aid is of need to further enhance independence as therapy continues.In either situations this simple and effective tool can be of great help if trained well to the patients.Also patients need to be motivated to work towards independence in Indian cultural context.

So Please go through this website and seek benefit from this product.You can leave your opinion in the comments below.
