Product Description
The Freedom Scoop Plate allows people with weak hands or poor eyesight to eat with a little more ease, independence, and grace. The gradual rising edge of the plate allows diners to more easily push food onto their fork or spoon using only one hand. The scooped edge of the plate gently forces the food onto the utensil, without the need for a second hand. Several other features make dining easier:
> The no-slip, no-spill vacuum pad keeps the plate from sliding for people who cannot hold their plate still with their other hand. The vacuum pad can be easily moved and repositioned by lifting one of the corners, but it will stay firmly in place when the user is eating. The suction pad base easily screws off the plate for ease of cleaning.
> The high side of the Freedom Scoop Plate’s edge measures 4 and 3/4 inches high - making it useful for people with motor control issues. The low side, which measures 1 and 3/4 inches high, allows for easy access to the food. The whole plate measures 9" in diameter - not too big and not too small.
> The extended rim on the lip of the plate works as yet another safeguard to keep food from getting on the table. It also makes it easier for people with disabilities to hold the plate, pick it up or carry it as the need may arise.
> The plate without the Suction Pad Base can be microwaved and washed on the top rack of a dishwasher. The Suction Pad Base cannot be microwaved and should be washed by hand
