Shoehorn Telescopic 21.6-31.5"/55-80cm BIOS LF250

BIOS LF250 Telescopic Shoehorn 21.6-31.5" (55-80 cm)

Bending Down to Put on Shoes Isn't Optional Anymore
Most people pull on shoes by bending forward without a second thought.
For hip replacement patients, arthritis sufferers, and pregnant women, that bend creates real pain.
The BIOS LF250 Telescopic Shoehorn extends to reach your feet without any bending.
The telescopic design adjusts length to fit your height and shoe style perfectly.

Why Telescopic Beats Fixed-Length
Standard shoehorns come in one length — too short for tall users or too bulky for shorter ones.
The LF250 extends from 55 cm collapsed up to 80 cm fully extended.
Collapsed at 55 cm, it stores in a handbag or drawer beside the front door.
Extended to 80 cm, it reaches your foot from a seated position without leaning forward.

Key Features

Telescoping aluminum shaft — extends from 21.6 to 31.5 inches (55-80 cm).
Adjustable lock mechanism — sets to your preferred length and stays locked.
Curved metal spoon end — slides smoothly into the heel of any shoe.
Ergonomic handle grip — non-slip surface for arthritic or weak hands.
Lightweight construction — under 6 ounces, comfortable for daily use.
Hanging loop — stores easily on hooks beside the entry door.
Compact when collapsed — fits handbags, backpacks, and car glove compartments.

Who Needs the LF250

Hip replacement patients — bending past 90 degrees is forbidden for 6-12 weeks.
Knee replacement patients — bending and reaching cause pain during early recovery.
Arthritis sufferers — back, hip, and knee joints stiffen with bending.
Pregnant women — third-trimester belly makes foot reaching impossible safely.
Elderly patients — reduces fall risk during dressing routines every morning.
Spinal stenosis patients — forward bending triggers immediate nerve pain.

How to Use
Step 1: Sit in a stable chair with both feet on the floor.
Step 2: Extend the shoehorn to a length that reaches your shoe heel.
Step 3: Lock the telescopic section to prevent collapse during use.
Step 4: Slide the spoon end into the back of your shoe.
Step 5: Slip your foot in while pulling up gently on the handle.
Step 6: Remove the shoehorn once your heel is fully inside.

Pair It With Other Tools
The LF250 works best alongside other dressing aids for complete independence:

Sock aid — helps put on socks without bending forward.
Long-handled reacher — picks up shoes from the floor or closet shelf.
Dressing stick — pulls up pants and pulls down shirts overhead.

Yaletown stocks all four tools as a typical hip replacement recovery package.
