High Side Plate
Designed to Support Easier Independent Eating
The High Side Plate is designed to help make mealtimes easier for people with reduced hand function, limited dexterity, tremors or one-handed use. Featuring a raised curved rim on one side and a non-slip ring, the plate helps users scoop food onto utensils more easily, reducing spills and supporting greater independence during meals.
The high side acts as a built-in food guard, allowing food to be pushed against the raised edge when loading a fork or spoon. This can be particularly helpful for people who eat with one hand, have reduced coordination or experience difficulty keeping food on utensils.
