Richardson Products Inc. Able Grip 8" Adaptive Fork

Richardson Products Inc. 847102021232 Details

Allow for autonomy in your assisted living facility, nursing home, or hospital with this Richardson Products Inc. able grip 8" adaptive fork. This 8" long fork features 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!

This fork boasts a mirror polished finish and is ideal for use when serving main entrees at your facility. Made with a durable yet flexible stainless steel construction, the top of this utensil can be bent into the user's preferred position to cater each individual's range of motion. Ribs on the handle allow it to align perfectly with the inside of the right palm to provide extra grip, but it can also be used by left-handed individuals. Dishwasher safe up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, this fork is designed to improve dexterity and control while providing users with added independence, making mealtimes easier for both staff and residents.
