The MedDev Order Assist™ program provides an easy and efficient way to order the exact MedDev Hand Helper® hand therapy products you need, at an affordable price. In 1965, while recovering in the hospital, an inventive engineer named Harry Ratchford designed an easy to use rubber band resistance exerciser to regain his hand strength. Mr. Ratchford’s simple device was so effective in improving hand strength that he soon found he was making additional models for his family and friends, creating what were to become the first “Hand Helper” prototypes. Mr. Ratchford’s simple device continued to gain popularity and eventually arrived at the office of Richard Jobe, M.D., President of MedDev Corporation. Upon review, Dr. Jobe agreed that the device had strong potential in the rehabilitation market. He enthusiastically encouraged Mr. Ratchford to develop and market the exerciser to healthcare professionals in partnership with MedDev Corporation. After signing an agreement in 1969, MedDev began manufacturing the first elastic band hand therapy device. By the mid-1970’s, a few prominent hand surgeons began to take notice of the exerciser’s therapeutic benefits. Before long, MedDev's new Hand Helper became recognized as an effective therapy device. MedDev continued to respond to hand therapy needs in the 1990’s with the creation of the Hand Helper® II, a padded version of the original Hand Helper. In 1994, MedDev introduced three specialized hand and finger exercisers: Finger Helper™, Thumb Helper®, and Iso Hand Helper™. MedDev’s premier exerciser, the Ultimate Hand Helper®, was launched in 1999 as the first curved ergonomic hand exercise device to significantly improve overall hand function.
