Describe Yourself:
Caregiver.
The slots for the utensils are not large enough to accommodate different sizes of untensils. My husband uses a large, heavier fork and this product does not accommodate the stem size of the utensil. The purchase was a total waste.

The Universal Cuff wraps around hand. The main purpose or use is for eating utensils. But I use them for other purposes like; typing stick, ink pen for writing, and tooth brush.

Do you have to adjust the size to fit your hand for every time you use it? I have a universal cuff that comes in sizes that has an elastic cloth band on the back side. It seems to work well for me; but, I can't find it in these selections anymore. I'm a functional quad and have to be able to side it on myself. Would this type cuff work just as well for me? Thanks for your comments.

I am a quadruple amputee who uses the cuff on my lower arm rather than a hand. It is a useful tool, I do snug it up and release it each time. I size down to the pediatric size.

I'm a quad as well and like this better than the elastic ones. It has a D ring on it the I can either pull with my finger or with my teeth to velcro it in place. I use it with the utensil in the palm of my hand, not on the back on my hand as pictured.

I'm a quad as well I don't use this cuff for eating I use it to hold my tooth brush and it works great the velcro makes it very snug so it doesn't in hand. I also use it in my palm not the back of my hand. You say your a functional quad have you tried OXO Good Grips Utensils for eating this is what I use.

I'm also a quadriplegic. I like this one better since I can pull the D ring with my teeth and get the Velcro nice and snug around my palm. I use it to hold my toothbrush and also a pencil with the eraser end sticking out. The pencil substitutes for my finger and I use it to press all types of buttons (telephone, elevator, keyboard etc.). I use the eraser to turn pages when I'm reading a book or magazine. For eating I use the vertical palm utensils which I believe are made by Patterson Medical but are available from several medical supply distributors. I find the vertical palm utensils to fit much more securely and position the utensil in a much more efficient position.
I bought this universal cuff to hold a capacitive stylus after my wife bought me an iPad.
