The Comfort Grip Cutlery is made for hands with limited grasping ability, providing a way for these users to comfortably grip eating utensils for dining. This is especially beneficial for people with Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. In these circumstances, the wrist and finger joints become stiff when gripping an object in certain positions, causing pain and causing the individual to drop the object. This problem can happen at any time without warning and become so severe that meals are frequently skipped, leading to a whole new set of problems, including requiring the need for a caregiver. The special design of the Comfort Grip Cutlery will help alleviate this problem and allow users to dine independently and eliminate the need for assistance.
The special built-up handles are lightweight and contoured to prevent irritating important pressure points. The handles feature a non-slip surface that is soft and rubbery, making them easier to grasp and more comfortable to hold. The utensils are made from quality stainless steel and come in two styles; straight or angled. The angled utensils reduces the stress placed on the wrist of users with limited upper extremity motion and are available for left or right hand users.
The blade on the knife allows food to be cut using a rocking motion. This unique feature is perfect for users with only one hand! Each utensil is dishwasher safe, about 8 inches in length and weighs slightly more than 4 ounces. The fork is longer, measuring 9 inches in length. The large, firm handles are 1.25 inches in diameter. The Comfort Grip Cutlery pieces include:
