This product is a handle for eating utensils that can be attached to spoons, forks, etc. and used in nursing care. It was created with the idea of ​​"pushing" in mind for people who find it difficult to apply force when using conventional spoons and forks that require gripping, or who experience hand tremors and end up using unnecessary force when trying to control their grip, which worsens the tremors or causes hand cramps. The pear-shaped grip and wing-shaped protrusions on both sides allow for pressure to be applied from any angle using the entire palm and all five fingers. The rounded, streamlined design with no corners allows for smooth gripping. The overall short length prevents shoulders from lifting or armpits from opening when using the utensil, making it easy to handle and eat with.
