Product Details


This food guard is designed to make eating easier for people who use only one hand or have reduced coordination. It fits around the edge of a standard plate to create a raised barrier, allowing food to be pushed against it when scooping onto a spoon or fork.

The curved design helps prevent food from slipping off the plate, making mealtimes less frustrating and reducing mess. It can be particularly helpful for people with limited dexterity, tremors, or conditions that affect hand control.

The plate guard attaches securely using three clips and can be fitted or removed quickly without tools. It is suitable for everyday use at home and can be used with most standard round plates within the compatible size range.

Made from durable plastic, it is safe for use in both the dishwasher and microwave for convenience.

Available as a single unit or in packs of 2, 5, or 10.

    Very useful

    Review by Annie Rashley Posted on 02/07/2013 08:22:32
    The plate guard is very useful. The lady using it has very poor vision so is not able to see the edge of the plate. This product allows her to maintain her independence.
