A spoon asks more of a weak hand than a fork does. The load has to stay level for the whole journey from bowl to mouth, and one unsteady tilt sends soup or cereal back onto the table. The SectorCare Adaptive Eating Spoon answers both halves of that problem. A strap across the back of the hand and two hook and loop cuffs hold the 10cm handle body in place, so no grip is needed to keep hold of it, and the head turns a full 360° so the 5.5cm bowl stays level even as the wrist rolls.

The neck bends by hand to whatever angle suits that person's reach, which matters most for anyone eating one handed, propped up in bed, or working with limited elbow and shoulder movement after a stroke. Bowl and neck are 304 food grade stainless steel, so they rinse clean, resist staining and hold up to daily use. The whole unit is 0.1kg, light enough that a tired arm is not fighting the utensil as well as the meal, and the ribbed handle body gives the cuffs an anti slip surface to grip against.

Product Features

• Hands free palm strap: the adjustable strap and slider buckle carry the spoon on the hand, so no grip strength is needed to hold it.
• 360° rotating head: the bowl stays level through the lift, which is the difference between a full spoonful arriving and half of it going back on the plate.
• Bendable stainless steel neck: set the angle once to suit that individual's reach, then leave it. Useful when range of motion varies between people or between days.
• 5.5cm deep bowl: holds a proper mouthful of soup, cereal or soft food rather than forcing extra trips.
• 304 food grade stainless steel: safe against food, easy to rinse, and it holds its finish through repeated washing.
• Two point cuff hold: upper and lower hook and loop cuffs secure the handle at both ends instead of relying on a single band.
• Ribbed anti slip handle: the grooved 10cm body resists twisting inside the cuffs mid meal.
• Light 0.1kg build: adds almost nothing to an arm that is already working hard.
• Left or right hand use: the strap is symmetrical and the neck bends either way, so one unit suits either side.

Perfect For

• Home dining tables: lets someone with arthritis, tremor or a weak grip finish a bowl of soup or cereal without help.
• Aged care and nursing home dining rooms: quick for staff to fit and remove between sittings, and light enough to suit most residents.
• Hospital bedside and overbed tray tables: the bendable neck compensates for the awkward angles of eating propped up in bed.
• Occupational therapy and rehabilitation: supports self feeding practice during recovery from stroke or hand injury, with an angle the therapist can set to the client.
• Respite and day programs: small enough to travel with a participant between home and program.
• Eating away from home: packs flat in a bag for meals at a cafe, a family table or a day out.
