Here you will find comprehensive information about the aid Wini, targeted at you as a caseworker in connection with the assessment of a citizen's grant application. If you need further information, you are welcome to contact us at post@manigrip.dk . Wini is developed to strengthen the citizen's independence in everyday life and can in many cases reduce the need for other aids.
A new generation of assistive devices
Wini is a class 1 medical device (Regulation (EU) 2017/745 of 25 October 2022). In other words, this means that Wini meets high hygiene and usage requirements. In addition, Wini may be used and recommended by healthcare professionals. |
|
Wini was developed in collaboration with over 120 arthritis sufferers, occupational therapists and the Arthritis Association. Wini's functionality and design are 100% based on the wishes and needs of patients. |
|
Wini is a unique and innovative aid. The grip can firmly hold many different objects through a patented and flexible technology. But fear not – operation is easy and requires just a simple push of a button. |
|
One grip can go a long way. The flexible closing mechanism means that the patient or caregiver can easily and quickly enlarge the gripping surface for many different everyday tools. This can be, for example, cutlery, a toothbrush and a ladle. |
|
Depending on the patient's mobility, the patient will be able to achieve a higher level of self-reliance with Wini. Due to the flexible closing mechanism of the grip, the patient can enlarge the gripping surface of many everyday tools. |
|
Because Wini is a medical device and the cover is medical grade, it can be cleaned to meet strict hygiene requirements. Therefore, Wini does not have to be thrown away after use, as other competing grip enlargers must. |
|
Wini was born in Denmark, this is where she makes her home. At Manigrip we collaborate with Danish suppliers and the design is also Danish. |

Testimonials
"Wini has proven to be a life-changing companion for me. I use the grip at home for everyday tasks, but I also always have it in my bag on the go.
With help from Wini, I can brush my teeth again and help with cooking, etc. I have even found out that Wini can assist with charging both my phone and computer and help me build with Lego.
I am happy that I now only need a minimal number of aids because Wini is multifunctional. In addition, I do not feel tied to staying at home or being dependent on help from others in the same way anymore.
"I experience less pain in my hands, and I feel more self-reliant, and it has reduced the everyday frustrations I used to have. Overall, I experience more energy and mental strength in everyday life after having Wini."

Testimonials
Manigrips Wini – grip enlarger makes a difference for the patients who come to our clinic Ergoklinikken. Many of our patients have problems with hand function and thus problems holding writing utensils, eating utensils, toothbrushes, etc. Having a grip that simply adapts to the object to be held makes it easy for the patient to handle many everyday tasks with an aid, and not have the drawer filled with tools with thickened handles.
At the same time, many of the patients experience a form of freedom, as they have a solution in their bag when they have to eat either at a restaurant or with friends, where the challenge may be whether they can hold the eating utensils. Wini just comes in the bag, and comes on the table when necessary.
Standing in the bank and having to sign something with a pen that is too thin are also experiences that we have received feedback about where Wini has been a great help.
So all in all, the feedback we get from our customers and patients is very positive, and satisfaction is high, as Wini is reliable and safe to operate.

Testimonials
"Nothing has changed, yet everything is different with the electronic grip magnifier Wini in your hand. With Wini, you have the opportunity to move your hand more easily and have more strength in your hand to perform everyday tasks or creative pursuits that make you happy."
Wini can be turned in the way that best fits your hand. It can even turn differently depending on whether you need to use Wini with an eating utensil, a writing utensil, a personal care utensil or something completely different. In this way, using Wini can actually give you more energy, while at the same time making it easier to keep track of other things in life. It is quite natural that when you first meet Wini, you will probably have to get used to your Wini.
Manigrip provides opportunities in everyday life with extensive knowledge and practical experience in the sensory-based qualities of the grip enlarger. If you have any questions, you can always contact Manigrip with questions about this.
I think it's better to get to know Wini than to learn to live with your pain or challenges, which might be reduced with help from Wini. What do you like to do? What did you do a lot of in the past? Maybe you can do it again with Wini."
