Cutlery brand Amefa created adaptive utensils for people with disabilities and older people who have dexterity issues.

With the help of SCG Chemicals Co in selecting materials, studies found melamine was the most suitable material for adaptive eating utensils.

Adaptive Tableware for Easier Eating Adaptive tableware includes plates with high-contrast colors to help identify food quickly and bowls with sloped sides to assist with scooping.
