Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this spoon suitable for left-handed users?

No, this specific model is engineered with a 40-degree angle specifically for right-handed users.

Can I put this spoon in the dishwasher?

No, this utensil must be hand washed only to prevent damage to the foam handle.

What is the diameter of the handle?

The handle has a diameter of 28mm, designed to be "chunky" for easy gripping.

Why is it recommended by Occupational Therapists?

It is OT recommended because it has been tested to meet standards for functionality, ease of use, and safety for individuals with limited mobility.

What materials is the spoon made from?

It features a stainless steel head, a plastic stem, and a closed-cell foam handle.

Troubleshooting

The spoon feels slippery when wet.

Ensure the handle is thoroughly dried after washing, as moisture trapped on the surface of the foam can temporarily reduce grip security.

The foam handle appears to be loosening.

Check that the handle is not being exposed to high heat sources, such as stovetops or dishwashers, which can cause the material to expand or weaken.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces strain on painful joints and wrists
  • Easy-grip surface ideal for those with limited hand strength
  • Lightweight design prevents hand fatigue
  • OT recommended for proven clinical effectiveness

Cons

  • Not dishwasher safe; requires manual cleaning
  • Specifically designed for right-handed use only
  • Foam material may degrade if exposed to high heat or abrasive scrubbing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No assembly is required; the spoon is ready to use immediately out of the package. Because this is a specialized personal care utensil, it is best kept in a dedicated drawer or utensil organizer to maintain the integrity of the foam handle. Care must be taken to only hand wash this item in warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly. Do not place this utensil in a dishwasher, as the high temperatures and harsh detergents will compromise the closed-cell foam and the stem connection.
