Doris Sheehan, from Tullamore, says she has relief for her “joints, spine and shoulders”, thanks to a new kettle, designed by Uccello Designs as an ‘assistive technology’, to help people with limited mobility.
Ms Sheehan has osteoporosis arthritis in her hands which has led to her having restricted mobility and limited strength. She was finding it difficult to pour hot water safely or lift heavy objects – until she began using the Uccello Kettle.
The innovative Uccello Kettle was designed to help people with medical conditions or disabilities that make it difficult to pour hot water safely or lift heavy objects. The product features a non-weight-bearing ‘tilt-to-pour’ mechanism, enabling users to pour water without having to pick the kettle up.
