A Spoon That Stays in the Hand Without Being Held

18.6cm overall · 5.5cm spoon bowl · 10cm handle · 360 degree rotating head · 304 stainless steel · 0.1kg

Soup, cereal and anything loose are the first meals to become difficult when a hand loses its grip, because a spoon has to stay level the whole way from bowl to mouth. This one does not rely on the fingers at all. A padded strap runs across the back of the hand and holds the handle firmly against the palm, so the spoon is secure while the hand stays relaxed. There is nothing to squeeze, and nothing to drop when concentration or strength fades partway through a meal.

The head turns freely in the handle through a full 360 degrees, which keeps the bowl of the spoon level as the wrist rotates on the way up. For a loaded spoon that is the difference between arriving full and arriving empty. The bowl measures 5.5cm long by 3.8cm wide, a standard dessert spoon size rather than anything oversized, in 304 food grade stainless steel with smooth edges. The handle is 10cm of ribbed non slip moulding, and the hook and loop strap adjusts to the width of the palm and fastens one handed.
