Assistive Toothpaste Device

I developed this concept in APSC 100 for a client with limited range of motion. Brushing teeth is a daily ritual, yet fine motor control is required to uncap and squeeze toothpaste. The device had to let someone with reduced grip strength independently prepare their toothbrush.

A top aperture nests around the toothpaste cap for leverage, while the sliding wedge and lever channel pressure evenly through the tube so paste dispenses cleanly onto the bristles. The form factor stays stable on a countertop, restoring a routine that supports dignity and autonomy.
