Cutlery aids to support grip and comfort while eating

Our adapted cutlery and drinking aids are carefully chosen to assist people who have difficulty holding or using standard utensils. These cutlery aids are ideal for those living with arthritis, hand tremors, stroke recovery, or any condition that may reduce hand strength or coordination. The key benefits from a large amount of products in this range includes thicker and more comfortable handles, ergonomic handle designs, or added weight to support greater control and minimise spills.

Options include angled spoons and forks, easy grip forks, and non-slip built-up grips that are easier to hold and use during mealtimes. Each utensil is designed to reduce fatigue and discomfort while improving independence. Whether you’re selecting for yourself or a loved one, you’ll find practical, reliable options in our adapted range.

Disability cutlery for independence at mealtimes

For individuals with a physical disability or hand impairment, eating independently can be challenging without the right support. Our collection of disability cutlery includes options tailored for one-handed use, limited grip, or fine motor control issues. These tools help people eat with confidence, avoid frustration, and maintain dignity during meals.

Angled forks and spoons, stabilising utensils, and right angled handles support ease of movement and reduce reliance on others. They are suitable for use at home, in residential aged care, or supported living environments. Our Easi-grip range is specifically designed to maintain alignment of the hand, wrist and elbow which reduces strength needed for eating, and creates a comfortable, natural hand position. Products are also easy to clean and made from durable materials for long-term daily use.
