Spoon, S'Up

This is a spoon. It is dated 2015. Its medium is tritan.

S'Up Spoon is a utensil for people with active hand tremors. It has a deep cavity that facilitates scooping up food such as soup and cereals while minimizing spilling when eating. Not only does it enable self-feeding and thus greater independence, but it is discrete so that it can be used in a restaurant.
