CanDo 10-2611 Theraputty Plus Hand Exercise Putty, Yellow, 3oz, X-Soft

Purchased at the recommendation of my physical therapist. Great for tendinitis therapy. It’s not the best smelling product in the world, but it’s very mild. Highly recommend!

A friend of mine had a stroke with partial loss of function on her right side. I'm a retired occupational therapist and used this product for years. It helps the patient regain fine motor coordination and hand strength. You can have the patient pinch it, pull it, roll it in their fingers, or roll it into a log, put it between their fingers and smush it. You can also put bugle beads in it, smash it all up, then have the patient pick out the beads. Priceless invention.

One person measured the weight of 4 ounces with the liquid volume of 4 shot glasses. One, person used a scale that measured ounces with fractions. That scale should be put in the trash. Others are confused by the size of the container versus the amount in it. The weight of the product is accurate. But, the seller should be smart enough to put on the label that it is 4 ounces by weight and not volume and they should list it in grams as well, to avoid any confusion. Food products do it. Plus, like food products, they should make it clear, that "some settling may occur". Like, a big bag of snacks with a small amount in it, and a label stating the situation. 4 ounces is a good amount. For me, I'll need more, for the times that I want a larger ball to squeeze. So, I will get a second six-pack most likely, and later maybe the big pound tubs of a few different strengths. The six-pack was the cheapest option as none of the colors were the same price, with prices ranging a large amount. It was $38+ for the six-pack. The lightest strength is great. A sampler pack would be nice for people to understand the strengths. / Using 2 ounces at a time can be useful, depending on what you want to do. But, I recommend getting at least the 4-ounce size, unless it is for a kid. The lower strengths are great, and allow for longer use and different exercises. For example, you may pinch a strong one, but squeeze a less strong one.

Served its purpose, but after a month of use, it got very sticky. Great for making “silly putty” pops though.

Nice, easy way to gain some finger and hand strength. I saw this product on a video about hand therapy excersizes. Because this isn't a gadget that can break, I thought I'd try it. It's neat! I can squeeze, pull, twist and pinch as much as I want. I really like it! If you're new to putty therapy, buy the "soft" one first to see how well you handle it. I bought the " firm" first and it was a bit too stiff for me, so then I bought the "medium" which gives me good resistance, and I can work up to using the "firm". Now I can go back to that video and follow along with the therapist. Only thing is that you should wash and dry your hands before each time you use it or the putty will begin to look dirty over time. If you've got a pet, keep the putty in its container to prevent pet hair from getting stuck in it.

Great for my hand therapy!

I just received this putty, and I like it a lot. It felt very firm at first, but after squeezing it for a while, it feels great. The green is just right for an easy workout. It's not sticky and does not come off on your hand. I would say it's a lot like silly putty, but more firm. If you make it into a ball, it will bounce. I have just three fingers on my right hand, and I will use this putty to help build my hand strength for sports that I play. I will probably order the blue color next, and maybe a red also. It makes a nice fidget toy too. I read the 1-star reviews, and they don't make a lot of sense now that I have some of the putty. I recommend this putty.

Has helped me tremendously with my hand therapy!
