‘Clevername'™ designed by healthcare specialists Pearson Matthews reassesses how a sticking plaster is used and the problems encountered by disabled users. Plasters are the first thing we turn to when we cut our finger but when the accident involves ourselves, we revert instantly to the status of a one-handed individual doing a job that requires two. Clevername™ is a plaster that is intended for one-handed use from the start.

Other shortlisted entries included a communications toolkit for people with dyslexia by Corporate Edge, a new bus shelter by Lacock Gullam, a kite mark for inclusive products and services by Enterprise IG and a vacuum cleaner by Rodd Industrial Design.
