What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This stainless steel teaspoon has a soft foam sleeve over the handle, which makes it thicker and easier to hold. A wider handle takes less finger strength and a lighter pinch, so it can help someone with arthritis or limited hand use. The foam can be taken off when grip improves, so it also works for people building grip strength during rehab. The inner plastic handle is about 5/8 inch across, and with the foam on, the handle is about 1 1/2 inches around. You use it like any other spoon, with nothing to set up.
