High Side Plate
Designed to Support Easier, More Independent Eating
The High Side Plate is designed to make mealtimes easier for people who have difficulty scooping food onto cutlery. Featuring a raised curved side and a non-slip ring, the plate provides an edge to push food against when loading a fork or spoon, helping reduce spills and support more independent eating.
The high side acts as a built-in food guard, making it particularly useful for people who eat with one hand, have reduced hand control or dexterity, experience tremors, or find it difficult to keep food on their utensils.
