HenroGrip® - Ergonomic Cutlery Designed for Independent Eating
HenroGrip® is Danish-designed adaptive cutlery for children and adults who struggle with grip, arm movement, or wrist control. Developed with occupational therapists, its curved shape lets you eat with minimal bending of the wrist and arm - no special technique required.
Available in adult sizes (black or red, left- and right-handed) and HenroGrip® Kids for children up to 8 years. The red colourway is particularly beneficial for young people with autism and older adults with dementia or Alzheimer's. The optional HenroStrap® elastic strap holds the cutlery securely in hand, ensuring it can't be dropped.
CE-marked as a medical device. Food approved, dishwasher safe. Produced in Denmark.
HenroPlate® - Eat Independently with One Hand
HenroPlate® is designed for people who eat with one hand - whether due to hemiplegia, stroke, cerebral palsy, or limited arm mobility. One low edge and one raised edge make it easy to push food to the side and scoop it onto a fork or spoon without assistance.
Anti-slip rubber feet hold the plate firmly on the table so it stays in position throughout the meal. Deep enough for porridge or soup. Microwave and dishwasher safe up to 65°C, and can handle industrial dishwashers up to 80°C for 3 minutes.
CE-marked as a medical device. Food approved. Produced in Denmark.
