Ucan is an ergonomic watering can designed for people with arthritis and hand impairments. It redistributes the weight of the water from the fingers and wrist to the forearm, making it easier to carry and pour without strain.
The design features a handle that is submerged in the watering can, providing support and balance relying on the forearm rather than the wrist. It has a spout positioned for easy pouring with minimal wrist movement.
