About Etac Torkel Paper Tongs
Etac Torkel paper tongs — a smart hygiene aid that extends your reach for users with reduced mobility, rheumatism or limited grip. You handle intimate hygiene independently and take the compact tongs along on trips.
Hygiene tongs for extended reach
The 33 cm long tongs hold a folded sheet of toilet paper at the jaws so you can reach areas that are otherwise difficult without bending or twisting the back. You release the paper into the toilet by pressing the trigger. The compact size folds for travel, and the smooth plastic surface wipes clean.
