The Inner Lip Plates
help promote dignity and independent eating
by allowing individuals who would normally have difficulty feeding themselves to
do so.
The Inner Lip Plate is specifically designed for the elderly,
those with limited muscle control, individuals with the use of just one hand or
arm, children or those with limited or no vision.
The deep inner lip keeps food from
sliding off the plate. The user brings the fork or spoon to the edge of
the plate and pushes the food onto the utensils. Constructed of durable
plastic, the nine inch diameter plates are
dishwasher, autoclave and microwave safe.
Available in
quantities of two, the
plates are available in sandstone or red.
The new Redware was created after studies found that individuals with
Alzheimer's and poor vision ate more using red plates. Often these
individuals lose interest in eating and the bright redware successfully entices
them to eat more.
The Inner Lip Plate with Non-Skid Base is made of the
same plastic material as the regular but with the addition of an adhesive pad
which is placed on the bottom of the plate to prevent sliding.
The Inner Lip Plate with Suction Cups is also the same
material but with the addition of three suction cups which stick out from the
bottom of the plate.
The Non-Skid and the Suction Cup Inner Lip plates are not
dishwasher or microwave safe. The Regular and Non-Skid come packaged in a
package of two as does the Redware.
The Suction Cup Inner Lip Plate is sold individually (not in packages of two).
