You will need this if you are having surgery. The foot stirrup stays rigid and open, so it’s easy to get your foot into. There are loops on the strap so you can grab down low or in the middle and the upper handle is reinforced with foam. It is high-quality strapping, strong and sturdy. It was instrumental for getting in and out of the car and onto a high bed. I can highly recommend this tool after knee surgery. Yes get this one !
