Device Details

Overview

This design allows you to secure a 355 ml / 12 oz can so that you can open it comfortably or work on finding a grip to lift it in and out independently without tipping it over. It is movable and depending on the surface the user may want to put something on the bottom of the device to make it grip better. As someone that struggles with hand dexterity, this device gives me the confidence to take my time and be as independent as possible.

Usage

The Can Stabilizer is placed on a flat surface. A beverage can can be inserted into the top of the device. The Can Stabilizer will stabilize the can during opening or when forming a grip, then the beverage can easily be lifted out of the top of the Stabilizer.

Cost

Approximately $1.50 CAD for filament.
