The handle sits in a universal strap. The universal strap is an adjustable Velcro strap for various hand sizes. It has an elastic pocket in which flatware, typing sticks, etc, can be inserted.<br \/>\nWhen the dental floss loop points downwards the user cleans his lower teeth. To turn the loop he pulls it out of the handle a bit with his teeth, turns it downward with his mouth and puts it in place again.<\/p>\n<p>Model: Dental floss loop: Plackers dental floss with holder<\/p>\n<p>Universal strap: Flatware holder from Swereco or flatware grip &#8220;Bestickgrepp&#8221; from Varsam.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tilva\"><strong>How to make<\/strong><br \/>\nShape a handle bent at a 90-degree angle for the dental floss loop from orthotic material and make a hole using the dental floss holder.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tilv\"><strong>Made by<\/strong><br \/>\nCarin Bergfeldt, occupational therapist<\/p>\n<p class=\"Inkopstallet\"><strong>Purchased from<\/strong><br \/>\nDental floss loop: pharmacy; Universal strap (&#8216;H\u00e5llom&#8217;): in Sweden Swereco, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.swereco.se\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.swereco.se<\/a> (last checked March 2017)<\/p>\n<p class=\"Bekostad\"><strong>Paid for by<\/strong><br \/>\nCounty Council (universal strap)<\/p>\n<p class=\"idea\"><strong>Whose idea<\/strong><br \/>\nUser together with occupational therapist Carin Bergfeldt<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><div style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/630_24_tandtrad2_600.jpg\" alt=\"User with customized floss holder in universal strap.
