The Gentlest Starting Point for the Weakest Grasp
For hands recovering from significant injury, surgery, or conditions that severely limit grip strength, even a Soft-resistance putty can be too much to start with. McKesson Therapy Putty in 2X-Soft resistance is designed as the gentlest option in the line, giving the weakest grasp something manageable to squeeze, stretch, and work with from day one.
Made from high-quality silicone polymer, the putty is non-toxic and unscented, making it comfortable to use even during frequent, short sessions typical of very early-stage rehabilitation. This 2 oz. container comes in the 2X-Soft resistance level, color-coded in tan for easy identification alongside other resistance levels if building out a full exercise progression.

2X-Soft is the gentlest resistance level in the McKesson Therapy Putty line, a step below X-Soft. It's typically used immediately following surgery, for severe arthritis flare-ups, or with conditions causing significant hand weakness, where even a light resistance would be too demanding at the start. As strength returns, the natural progression moves to X-Soft, then Soft, and onward. A physical or occupational therapist can help determine when it's appropriate to progress beyond 2X-Soft based on individual recovery.

What's the difference between 2X-Soft and X-Soft?
