Easy-To-Use
Products -- Complete List
 Have you ever ached
to find easy-to-open packages or bottles? Utensils and tools designed to be comfortable as
well as easy to use and effective?
The Arthritis Foundation created a program to encourage
manufacturers to design with "Ease-of-Use" in mind. Listed below are some of the
products and packaging that have been submitted for review to an independent panel of
people with arthritis and health professionals, and have received a favorable review for
Ease-of-Use. These products carry the Arthritis Foundation Ease-of-Use Commendation Logo.
(The makers of these products make an annual contribution to the Arthritis Foundation in
support of our mission.) The following are listed in alphabetical order by product:
 1-Clic®
Packaging System from
Rexam
 In
recognition of its inventive packaging design for pharmaceutical vials,
Rexam has received an Ease-of-Use Commendation for its 1-Clic Packaging
System. The name 1-Clic comes from the design of the easy-open reversible
closure which provides a single audible “click”
to indicate the closure has been secured correctly – a feature that
encourages consistent and proper use. The closure can be used in a
child-resistant or non-child-resistant position, a feature seniors and
arthritic patients value. Ask your pharmacist to fill your next prescription
in a 1-Clic vial from Rexam.

True to our original no-flip design introduced over a decade
ago, The OriginalBed by Tempur-Pedic™ features our TEMPUR®
material Support Layer on top of a supportive Base

The
PrimaBed by Tempur-Pedic™
"The

quilting it into the top of the luxurious cover and framing it in a textile that contrasts
in both color and feel. A TEMPUR material Comfort Layer, quilted into the
cover, immediately reacts to your body and instantly conforms to your exact body
contours. An additional Comfort Layer of TEMPUR material begins to absorb
and distribute your body weight evenly through the bed while the TEMPUR Support Layer
supports your entire body in perfect alignment. Our dual AirFlow System™
supports the TEMPUR layers and promotes air circulation.
