Richardson Products Inc. 847102021348 Details
Allow for autonomy in your assisted living facility, nursing home, or hospital with this Richardson Products Inc. able grip 4-piece adaptive utensil set. This set features (1) fork, (1) teaspoon, (1) tablespoon, and (1) rocker knife. Each of these utensils is built with a 1 1/2" wide grip handle that is intended to help individuals living with Parkinson's, arthritis, hand tremors, or any other cause of poor grip strength. By having a wide grip this utensil requires less gripping power than traditional flatware, and since the handle has a plastic coating it is also easier for patients to maintain their grip when tremors or spasms do occur. It is non-weighted but heavier than traditional silverware for extra stability during use. The end of the handle even has a hanging hole for efficient storage and drying when it is not in use!
These utensils boast a mirror polished finish and are ideal for use serving everything from main entrees to sides, coffees, and desserts at your facility. Made with a durable yet flexible stainless steel construction, the top of the fork, teaspoon, and tablespoon can be bent into the user's preferred position to cater to each individual's range of motion. Ribs on the handles allow for these utensils to align perfectly with the inside of the right palm to provide extra grip, but they can also be used by left-handed individuals.
The rocker knife is designed with smooth edges to prevent accidental injuries, and cuts using a rocking motion rather than by slicing. The knife is also built with ribs on the handle which fit easily into both palms, making it ideal for users who are both right- and left-handed. Dishwasher safe up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, the utensils in this set are designed to improve dexterity and control while providing users with added independence, making mealtimes easier for both staff and residents.
