When grip strength fades, a standard fork becomes the hardest object on the table. The SectorCare Adaptive Eating Fork takes gripping out of the equation entirely. A strap passes across the back of the hand and two hook and loop cuffs hold the 10cm handle body in place, so the fork stays put even when the fingers cannot close around it. The person keeps feeding themselves, and the carer is not left standing over the plate.
The stainless steel neck bends by hand to whatever angle suits that person's reach, and the fork head turns a full 360° so the tines stay level as the wrist moves. The head and neck are food grade stainless steel and rinse clean after a meal. The whole unit weighs just 0.1kg, so there is no extra load on a tired arm, and the ribbed handle body gives the cuffs an anti slip surface to hold against. At 21cm overall it stores alongside ordinary cutlery in a drawer or a care pack.
Mealtimes are one of the last routines people want help with. This 21cm adaptive fork keeps that routine in the person's own hands through a hands free strap, a bendable stainless steel neck and a 360° rotating head, all at 0.1kg in food grade stainless steel. Suited to home dining, aged care and nursing home settings, hospital bedsides, rehabilitation programs and eating out, and supplied GST free across Australia.
Do I need any grip strength to use this fork?
No. The strap crosses the back of the hand and two hook and loop cuffs hold the handle, so the fork stays in position without the fingers closing around it.
Can the angle be adjusted?
Yes. The stainless steel neck bends by hand, so you can set the angle that suits the user's wrist and elbow range. The fork head also rotates a full 360 degrees.
Will it fit a left handed user?
Yes. The hand strap is adjustable and symmetrical, and the neck bends either way, so the same unit suits either hand.
How big and how heavy is it?
It measures 21cm overall with a 4cm wide body and weighs 0.1kg. The fork section is 11cm and the handle section is 10cm.
What is it made from and how do I clean it?
The fork head and neck are food grade stainless steel, which rinses and wipes clean after meals.
