We all need to eat but problems with grip can make it very difficult to do
Eating is something we all do numerous times a day, it’s how we stay alive and picking up your knife and fork to tuck into a meal is something most of us do without even thinking about. However, for some it isn’t so simple, gripping something as small as the handles on cutlery can cause a lot a frustration that will lead to people under eating and having huge impacts on their health.
Life in Style have created an innovative new tool that will help anyone who struggles with self-feeding with conventional cutlery. The KFS (Knife, Fork, Spoon) Eating utensil has been designed to ensure meal times are easy and stress free.
Rocker Knife- is ideal for people who only have the use of one hand. The curved blade with wide easy grip handle makes cutting safe and easy. The blade is set back so that it does not touch the lips when you are using the fork or the spoon.
Fork- The tines of the fork are long enough to secure portions of food but short enough and broad enough to provide optimum safety for disabled or elderly users.
Spoon- Food can be kept more securely on the spoon as the bowl of the spoon is much deeper which means less spillages and time for every meal. The side of the spoon allows for easy sipping for soups and other liquids.
Can Opener- The KFS easy Eat also includes a simple solution to opening awkward cans or tins that have a ring pull. Built into the back of the handle there is a recess that is specifically designed to get under and leverage up the taps on tins and cans.
Twist Cap Opener- Twist tops on bottles can be hard to get a grip of. The Bottle opener on the KFS Easy Eat fits snugly around twist tops to give you more leverage, making opening require much less strength.
As well as these useful tools, the handle is specifically designed to fit over the thumb to help you gain a more secure grip on the utensil.
The Knife Fork Spoon Easy Eat Cutlery is ideal for anyone wanting independence and versatility in one piece of cutlery, including;
- People with arthritis
- Sufferers of Parkinson’s disease
- Visually impaired
- The elderly
- Stroke survivors
- Arm amputees
The KFS Utensil is highly durable and is made from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene which is high strength, flame resistant and dishwasher safe so you can be sure it will last.
