Performing CAPD independently with one hand using an assist device

When a patient with only one functioning hand and learning disabilities experienced difficulty using the Baxter Ultrabag disconnect system, the CAPD staff at an Indiana unit conceived and designed a single-handed assist device to help their patient. Along with staff input from the Indiana unit, Baxter engineers used this design to help create the EZ-Aide Assist Device to help meet the needs of this particular patient population.
