Our comfort grip weighted cutlery weighs 8 oz (226 grams) which helps to decrease hand tremors, allowing the cutlery to reach the user’s mouth more easily. The bright RED handle is not only for the visually impaired but research studies have shown that Alzheimer and dementia patients also benefit from exposure to the colour red. They tend to eat more and stay interested in their food for longer periods of time. Latex free. Home dishwasher safe.
