Inner Edge Plate
Designed for Easier, More Independent Eating
The Inner Edge Plate is designed to support people who experience difficulty scooping food onto utensils due to reduced hand control, limited dexterity, tremors or one-handed use. Featuring a raised inner lip around the edge of the plate, it helps guide food back onto forks and spoons, making meals easier to manage and helping reduce spills.
The bright red colour provides strong contrast against many food types, which may assist people with low vision, visual perception difficulties or cognitive changes by making food easier to see on the plate.
