North Coast developed the Quad Care Utensil Holder as an answer to accommodate eating difficulties associated with utensil use. This assisting accessory was created to drastically change how quadriplegic patients and individuals with limited to no grip eat and possibly write.
Each utensil aid device is lightweight and comfortable because of its high-quality plastic base being connected with a nylon hoop and loop closure strap and d-rings. This construction was created to direct the utensil away from your palm and promote a stable hold on the silverware piece. Similarly, because the base is wrapped with a nylon strap including a velcro closing system, you can customize the tension between your hand and device to feel more comfortable, mobile, and secure.
An advantage of this Quad Care Utensil Holder from North Coast is how you can easily manipulate a utensil as much as you can customize your grip. The D-rings make it easy to adjust the strap's tension and apply the device on the hand. Its lightweight materials guarantee that having no grip would not decrease the effort to move a utensil with this aid. Therefore, almost anyone can manipulate these devices with minimal effort.
The device can fit most palms that measure between 7 to 9 inches in diameter. These can be maintained easily by just handwashing with soap and water. However, it is impressive that these devices promote a degree of self-dependence. The utensil holder also makes it possible to support and stabilize writing devices.
