Visitors to REHACARE who want to find out about everyday aids

Accessibility starts with the details: small everyday aids are just as much a part of REHACARE as major innovations.

Practical everyday aids for on the go

Arnie: trailer hitch for wheelchairs and suitcases

A wheelchair and a suitcase – often a difficult combination. Arnie provides a solution: with this small trailer hitch, luggage can be easily attached and conveniently transported. On display at the Help-24 GmbH booth in Hall 4 / G28.

Small bags for wheelchairs

Keys, cell phones, or wallets: specially designed bags for wheelchairs keep important items safely stored away yet quickly accessible. You can find these practical accessories at QUOKKA B.V. in Hall 4 / B59.

Kitchen and household aids

Everyday helper board

Cooking with only one hand or with limited mobility can be a challenge. The everyday helper board holds food securely in place and makes cutting, peeling, or preparing food easier. Visit Gudrun Denker in Hall 6 / F42.

Easy-Up kitchen aid

The Easy-Up kitchen aid allows you to open lids or hold containers in place with minimal effort. It gives people with limited hand mobility back their independence in the kitchen. On display at Handigood ApS in Hall 4 / D26.

Technical aids for everyday life for greater comfort

Elefant: Hook for walking aids

Whether in the kitchen or at work: with the flexible Elefant hook, you can quickly free up both hands when using walking aids. A small detail with a big impact. You can find the product at Go Or Stay ApS in Hall 4 / C33.

Magnetic USB charging cable adapters

Searching for the plug, turning it, plugging it in—for many, this is tedious finger work. Magnetic USB charging cable adapters make connecting devices much easier. On display at the Contergan Victims Association of North Rhine-Westphalia in Hall 6 / D27.

Accessible gardening with a system

Multifunctional raised bed

Gardening can also be made accessible: a multifunctional raised bed that can be adjusted in height allows you to sow, tend, and harvest while seated. Experience the product at Tischlerei Artefact e.K. Jan Beyer in Hall 6 / D47.
