The ability to grasp certain objects and hold on to them may become difficult for the elderly and people with physical disabilities associated with arthritis, cerebral palsy, epilepsy, brain injury or stroke. Often times, holding a fork or spoon to have a simple meal is too difficult to accomplish. The Comfort Grip Utensils were developed specifically for individuals with weak grasping and limited hand dexterity.
These special utensils are made with a large built-up, contoured handle to make them easy and comfortable to hold. They're lightweight and soft, with a rubbery, non-slip surface. The utensils on the Comfort Grip are made of quality stainless steel that offers long lasting durability. Available in both straight style and a left or right angled style. Each utensil is sold individually in the following pieces; rocker knife, fork, teaspoon and soup spoon. Angled style is available in the teaspoon and fork only. The angled style is recommended for individuals with upper body extremities or limited hand and wrist flexibility.
The large, firm handles are 1.25 inches in diameter; the fork is 9 inches in length and weighs slightly more than 4 ounces each; and the spoons are 8 inches in length. Dishwasher safe.
