Sammons is slowly dropping the items they carried to help spinal cord injury clients with no grip. For example, they used to make a quadknife that they stopped carrying a few years ago. It still is pictured in the catalog under the Automatic Faucet Control. It shows the person washing it. Page 554 in the 2002 catalog. It can be worn as shown in the picture or turned the other was on the hand so that the knife side is by the 5th digit(for those lacking pronation). Since I work in SCI we used it all the time. Now there is not a knife available that is sharp enough to cut anything. I can not remember what the other item that they dropped for SCI clients this last year. We also use splinting material that we attach to various items for example: electric screw driver. When I was in school we had local therapists recommend a client who needed something made for him that was not available in catalogs or too expensive to buy. We worked in small teams to make the items for the client. Each team had a different person and different item to make. We made adaptive fishing poles, made it possible for someone to be able to hunt again with equipment, made a bathing seat for a child with severe deformorties and positioning problems, etc.
