What is an Adaptive Cutting Board?

An adaptive cutting board is a special cutting board designed for individuals with reduced hand strength or who have only the use of one hand. The adaptive cutting board enables the user to hold food in place for cutting, peeling, grating, or other food preparation purposes. The One Handed Cutting Board typically has the following features:  

  • Raised edges that hold the food in place and prevent it from falling off the board. The raised edges allow the bread to be easily spread with one hand. 
  • Spikes hold bread or vegetables firmly in place while they are being sliced or chopped. 
  • Suction cup feet that secure the cutting board to the counter so it will not move. 

Who would benefit from One Handed Cutting Boards?

One-handed cutting boards are useful for people with limited or no use of one hand. Stroke survivors, amputees, people with arthritic conditions and neurological impairments, and people who struggle with dexterity problems will benefit greatly from adaptive cutting boards. Additionally, these kitchen aids work well for low-vision users. 

Benefits of an Adaptive Cutting Board

A cutting board is an important kitchen aid for food preparation. People with limited hand strength find it difficult to use a regular cutting board. The non-slip cutting board is a game-changer for individuals with arthritis, neurological ailments, low vision, and other health issues.  

Adapted Cutting Boards drastically reduce the challenge of cutting, slicing, and dicing and help relieve the stress of meal preparation. They also improve the user's independence and safety in the kitchen.
