PR07678 Mrs Savage Read-At-Ease Stocking Frame

https://ilcaustralia.org.au/products/7678

A frame designed to assist people with putting on support stockings. It can also be used with socks or regular stockings. The frame will hold the stocking/sock sufficiently open to allow the foot to be inserted. The stocking still needs to be fed over the frame (using the hands). The frame can eliminate prolonged bending to reach the feet.
