Hold Your Own Cutlery Again with a 30.5cm Utensil Strap That Needs No Grip

30.5cm strap · 11.5cm across the cuff · 2.5cm wide webbing · 0.01kg · adjustable hook and loop closure · 2 spare strips included · cutlery not included · GST free

Most people do not want new cutlery. They want to keep using the knife, fork and spoon already in the drawer. The SectorCare Adaptive Utensil Holding Strap makes that possible without any grip at all. Two cross tabs form a sleeve that clamps the utensil handle against the palm, and the 30.5cm strap wraps the hand and fastens back on itself. The utensil stays put whether or not the fingers can close. Fitting it takes two steps, slide the handle under the tabs and slip the hand through the loop.

The whole thing is soft webbing at 0.01kg, so it sits against the skin without pressure points and adds nothing noticeable to the hand. A plastic slider buckle sets the length, and the hook and loop closure adjusts across a wide range of hand sizes, which matters in a shared aged care or rehabilitation setting where one strap may pass between people. Two spare 11cm hook and loop strips come in the pack. It works with knives, forks, spoons and a range of other everyday handles such as pens and toothbrushes.

Product Features

• No grip required: the cross tab sleeve holds the utensil against the palm, so the fingers never have to close around a handle.
• Works with cutlery you already own: no need to buy a new adaptive set. Standard knives, forks and spoons slide straight in.
• Adjustable hook and loop closure: fastens anywhere along its length, so it fits a wide range of hand sizes and suits either hand.
• Two step fitting: slide the handle under the tabs, slip the hand through the loop. Simple enough for a carer to do in seconds or for many users to manage alone.
• Soft webbing at 0.01kg: comfortable against the skin through a full meal, with nothing rigid pressing into the hand.
• Plastic slider buckle: holds the strap length once set rather than working loose mid meal.
• 2 spare hook and loop strips: 11cm each, included in the pack.
• Fits more than cutlery: the same sleeve takes pens, toothbrushes and other slim everyday handles.

Perfect For

• Home dining tables: keeps someone eating with their own familiar cutlery rather than switching to specialist utensils.
• Aged care and nursing home dining rooms: one low cost strap per resident, and the wide adjustment range means it fits almost anyone on the floor.
• Hospital bedside and overbed tray tables: quick for staff to fit and remove around a meal service.
• Occupational therapy and rehabilitation: a simple first trial of self feeding support before committing to a full adaptive cutlery set.
• Respite and day programs: light enough to travel in a pocket with a participant.
• Grooming and writing tasks: the same strap holds a pen or a toothbrush for anyone who struggles with slim handles.
