A weak or painful grip makes ordinary cutlery slip and tire the hand long before the meal is finished. The foam handles on this set are built up so the fingers rest in a relaxed, open position, and ribbed so the utensil stays put even when the hand is damp or the grip is inconsistent.
The utensils themselves are stainless steel, sealed into the foam so there is no join to trap food. The whole piece is light, which suits clients with low endurance, tremor, arthritis or proximal weakness who can manage a meal only if the tool is not fighting them.
Available as a knife, fork, spoon and teaspoon, so you can order only the pieces the client struggles with, or the full set for someone who needs the lot. Hand washing keeps the foam sound.
