A Modern, Inclusive Design to Aid Independent Living
Easy-to-use
The plug is very easy to locate – it guides itself in and takes only a limited push to engage the plug, far less than a standard plug. Removal is also very easy and can be done with one finger.
Independence
People with even the slightest dexterity disability will have problems inserting and removing a standard plug, which can lead to a loss of independence. The Ezi-Plug offers a solution to this problem with its innovate design.
Safety
The socket automatically switches off when the plug is removed, and cannot be switched on if the plug isn’t engaged. It is therefore almost impossible for a child to get a shock by pushing something into the holes.
“This plug is long overdue for disabled people, as its ease of use is remarkable”
Arthritis affects more than 1 in 10 of adults in the developed world. The UK disability market sector for the plug is estimated at approximately 2 million households

The ease of use of the plug and its modern design offers advantages to all people. It includes previously excluded users, and offers enhanced functionality to more able users.
