Help At Mealtime With Broken Beauties Eating Aids
Not much can be as demoralizing as those first few days when one eats or attempts to eat in an arm or hand cast due to a broken bone. Getting a grip on the fork or spoon is frustrating to say the least. We usually end up with more food in our lap than in our mouth! But Help Is On The Way!
Broken Beauties has put together an assortment of eating aids and eating utensils that should go a long way in keeping the food on your plate and in your mouth. Our eating aids have been specifically selected with the hand or arm cast wearer in mind. Many times we lose the ability to grip when in an arm cast, one of the unfortunate side-effects of broken bones. We have even more customers now who have long-term loss of grip issues. For all of these customers we hope you find what you need here. If you do not find what you need…
Please don’t hesitate to give us a call on our toll free line at: 1-866-692-1916 or at customerservice@brokenbeauties.com and let us help you find it. We can arrange to have almost any eating aid on the market dropped shipped to you from the manufacturer in just a few days.
Good Grips™ Utensils
Comfortable, built-up handles have flexible ribbing that conforms to any grip.
Good
Grips™ cutlery has a soft, cushion grip that keeps the utensil
in the hand-even when wet! The large, easy-to-hold handles are made
of a soft rubber-like material, with flexible ribbing that's comfortable
to hold and adapts to any grip. The Good Grips™ handle
is so unique it has a U.S. patent.
Each stainless steel spoon and fork has a special twist built into the metal shaft that allows them to be adjusted to any angle. Bend for use with either the right or left hand.
A great solution for persons recovering from broken bones; or with a weak or limited grasp; or limited arm movement. The rocker knife requires only minimal arm strength for cutting. An extended safety cap protects fingers while cutting. Dishwasher Safe. Utensils sold individually.
The Good Grips™ Pediatric Spoon features a smaller, "kid-sized" bowl and handle. Unlike most pediatric spoon handles, which have a static, right-hand bend, the Good Grips™ Pediatric Spoon can be bent to any angle for use in the right or left hand.

due to a stroke or other neurological disorders. They also accommodate
one-handed use. Secure, nonskid feet keep the dish from sliding.
GripWare™ High-Sided Dishes are available in two styles. Both styles are made of melamine, a more durable alternative to plastic. The Regular dish maintains the same height around its circumference. The Cutout Edge dish has a sloping side that tapers to 1/2" (13mm) high, for easier entry of utensils. Dishes have a diameter of 7-3/4" (20cm) and sides that are 1-1/4" (3.2cm) high. Dishwasher safe.
