Description: A manual personal hygiene toilet care product has been designed for individuals with limited reach and hand mobility. The device holds toilet paper for the user.

Milestone: North Coast Medical of Morgan Hill, CA provided partial support for the development of a prototype device.

Other companies are being actively sought to commercialize this device.
