Eating and Drinking Aids

ETS has a range of eating and drinking aids to assist users and carers alike.

MAROON SPOONS
The now-famous maroon spoon, available in two sizes, continues to be a favourite. Narrow, shallow bowl makes it ideal for feeding therapy. Perfect for working with children with problems such as poor lip closure, oral hypersensitivity, or tongue thrust. While extremely tough and break-resistant, these spoons are plastic so we do not recommend using them with clients with severe bite reflex.

Maroon spoons are available in two sizes - small and large. The small one has a narrow as well as shallow bowl making it ideal for feeding infants. The larger one has a slightly wider and deeper bowl than the small making it suitable for use with older children.

Maroon spoons come in packs of 10 and may be sold individually. Maroon spoons are dishwasher safe.

EASIEEATERS
EasieEaters™ by Milestones™ are specially designed by an occupational therapist.

These angled utensils promote greater success with hand-to-mouth feeding and the built-up handles make them easier to hold.

The safety shield is designed to help prevent the spoon or fork from going too far back in your child's mouth.

FLEXICUT CUPS
Made of flexible plastic with a cutout designed to promote drinking without neck extension. The cutout allows the user to drink without tipping their head back. This helps to stop the drink going down the airway which can cause choking. The carer can squeeze the sides of the Pink and Blue cups to give increased control of the stream of the fluid.

Unlike other cut cups, our cups can be gently "squeezed" to change the shape of the cup lip. You can see the liquid through the translucent plastic. Green cup is designed for independent use and is stiffer.

Three sizes are available - small (pink), medium (blue) and large (green). Flexicut Cups are sold in packs of five and may be sold individually. Top rack dishwasher-safe.

SURE HAND WEIGHTED UTENSILS
These stainless steel utensils come with a soft, flexible grip handle with ribbing for comfortable, non-slip grip. The extra wide lip also stops the hand from slipping forward.

The extension models (fork and spoon only) feature a 90-degree angle joint, plus ball and socket design allowing infinite adjustments in length and angle. The design also prevents kinking and fatigue, and locks firmly into place even with repeated positioning. Weighted teaspoon and forks are also available for improving grip.

Dishwasher safe. Latex free.

The cutlery range is designed for those with restricted movement, combining angled and one-handed items.

Matching beaker has a cutaway base to allow the hand to get a firm and balanced grip.

NEATER EATER

Food is scooped up as the level spoon comes forward against the turned over lip of the plate. The plate can be turned directly, remotely or under electric power to reach the food required. The spoon is lifted up and forward until it reaches the mouth.
