Impact Spotlight

Cory Hahn’s journey is one of remarkable resilience and determination. After a spinal cord injury during his freshman year as a baseball player at Arizona State University, Cory faced challenges that could have defined his future. Instead, he chose to rewrite his story. Determined not to let paralysis limit his ambitions, Cory sought tools and technologies to help him reclaim his independence. One game-changer was the EZ-Gripper catheter — a device designed to provide greater control, ease, and autonomy for those navigating life with spinal cord injuries.

The EZ-Gripper catheter transformed Cory’s daily life by removing one of the major barriers to true independence. Traditional catheterization methods often came with physical and emotional hurdles, but the intuitive design of the EZ-Gripper gave Cory the ability to self-catheterize with confidence and efficiency. No longer bound by the limitations of traditional systems, Cory gained not only convenience but a renewed sense of dignity and empowerment. His experience with the EZ-Gripper reflects a broader truth: the right innovation can profoundly shift what’s possible for individuals facing physical challenges.

Today, Cory’s story stands as a powerful example of breaking through barriers and redefining what it means to live fully after a spinal cord injury. The EZ-Gripper has been a catalyst in Cory’s mission to pursue his passions, inspire others, and live life on his terms. His journey reminds us that with perseverance, the right tools, and an unbreakable spirit, independence isn’t just a goal — it’s a reality.
