iMedicComfort Grips Cutlery - Disability Eating Aids - Great for The Elderly, Disabled or Those Suffering with Tremors and Trembling Hands - Ergonomic, Contoured Design - (1x Set, Silver/Black)

I've gone through a few different 'large' grip cutlery sets over the years and none of them have lasted as long as the first set I had. The originals were made of decent steel and a good solid mount on a rubber-like handle. Since then, everything I've had has been some sort of alloy which bends at the slightest pressure and snaps pretty quickly. So, once again looking for a set of cutlery I can use, I found these. What a revelation.Seriously, these are really nice. Good stainless metal, nicely formed grip that doesn't slip or slide and the design makes them look quite attractive. Not so ashamed to have these on the table with ordinary cutlery, unlike the previous bulky gorilla cutlery. That might sound a bit dramatic, but it matters. It matters that you have cutlery that looks like cutlery. It helps one to feel human.The knife cuts as well, so you don't end up having to saw at things to get them sliced, or worse, ask somebody else to cut it. The fork is strong enough to hold food which it is being cut and without the tines or shaft bending from the pressure. The spoons could be a little bit deeper but they're fine for what they are. This set has quite literally transformed my life. I no longer have to be careful when manipulating food on the plate, and especially when trying to cut things. The shape is just about right so if one's hands don't entirely work properly you can still eat. But most important, these are normal knife, fork, spoon.... Normal in that they are not great fat ugly rubber things.The metal doesn't bend easily, although you can adjust the shape to make them easier to use. The handles are wide enough to work in hands that don't close well, and are light enough that they don't have that much risk of breaking free from a weak grip. Though, saying that, they are heavy enough that you know you're holding them. The handles are a hard plastic rather than the rubber handles many other manufacturers use. The surfaces are slightly roughened to facilitate grip, with a rigged section at the top head of the cutlery for a finger or thumb to apply pressure, the underside of the head has a raised ridge to assist in gripping and to stop them slipping up into the hand when picking up or cutting food.I feel that some thought has gone into the design and manufacture of these and I am so happy that I took the chance and bought them.Beautifully manufactured, suitable for most disabled eaters and a godsend in a box. I can't heap enough praise on the manufacturer and the seller for providing these. I feel almost normal again. Thanks.

Great product.Making a difference to my ability to use cutlery pain free.I have arthritis in my thumbs and the thicker handles help massively.A bonus that they are dishwasher friendly.

Nothing wrong with these for normal usage. Good value and quality.I returned mine because I required a 'weighted' set for Parkinson's tremors. A weighted set helps to stabilize the tremor so you keep more food on the cutlery when in use. These, weight for weight were exactly the same weight as my normal cutlery, although these have a larger, better grip area, but not heavy enough to counteract tremors.For others these would be perfect, but for me not so perfect. Therefor returned.

This is my second set excellent I have dupetrens contracture in my hands

Purchased these for my elderly grandmother as she was struggling to grip regular cutlery. We thought they might be a bit easier, but they have ended up being incredible and have made such a difference - my grandmother can now eat and cut her food at a much easier pace and without assistance. Great value for money. Thank you so much - I would definitely purchase again.

These are a game changer if you have arthritis in your hands/fingers. Highly recommend 🤩

My kids used the knife to butter bread and the knife bent out of shape and had to be straightened so not the sturdiest of cutlery. The handle I was expecting to be wider too but for the price they are ok and they dry quicker than my foam handled cutlery

Bought for someone with limited hand mobility and it has made a huge difference with meal times.They are lightweight but with a good balance.Has a nice chunky handle so they can be gripped even with weak hands
