Adaptive device for IV tubing - Any suggestions??

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

I have CMT 2, with some hand involvement. I decided not to let CMT

stop me and I started Nursing school last Fall. I have not had any

issues until this semester with some of the manual dexterity trying to

manipulate the IV tubing. Anyways - I am wondering if anyone has any

suggestions about an adaptive device I could use to connect, and

unconnect the tubing. I am having some difficulty grasping the small

tubing and screwing it into the connector completely. I have been able to do

some independently, but some seem to be harder than others. If you have any

suggestions- I would greatly appreciate it!!

I have made an appointment with an Occupational Therapist, but the appt is a

couple of weeks away and clinical is next Tuesday again.

Thanks again!!
