Plastic Plate Guard for Easier Eating

The Plastic Plate Guard is designed for people who find it difficult to scoop food onto a fork or spoon without pushing it over the edge of the plate. Its curved raised edge creates a barrier that food can be pushed against, helping guide it back onto the cutlery and reducing spills.

This makes it a particularly useful dining aid for one-handed users and people with limited dexterity.

Clips Securely onto Round Plates

The flexible guard fits around the rim of a compatible round plate, with clips positioned underneath the plate edge to hold it securely in place during use.

This model is designed for round plates measuring between 23cm and 28cm in diameter. The guard can be removed when it is no longer required.

Curved Edge Helps Keep Food on the Plate

Once fitted, the raised curved section provides an edge against which food can be pushed when using a fork or spoon. This can make scooping food easier while helping prevent it from being pushed over the side of the plate.

Dishwasher and Microwave Safe

Aidapt specifies the Plastic Plate Guard as both dishwasher and microwave safe, making it practical for regular mealtime use. One white plate guard is supplied per pack.
