Description
The Maddak Closed-Cell Foam Tubing slides over utensil and tool handles to build them up for hands that cannot close on thin grips. For arthritis and weak grip at mealtime, the foam adds diameter and cushion to forks, spoons, brushes, and pens already in the drawer.
- Builds Up Any Handle – tubing slips over utensils, toothbrushes, pens, and tools.
- 12 in Pieces – each tube trims to the length the handle needs.
- Closed-Cell Foam – the foam resists moisture and washes clean.
- Assorted or Single Sizes – choose the six-piece assortment or a single size pack.
Bigger Grips from the Utensils Already in the Drawer
Thin handles demand a tight pinch grip, which is exactly the motion arthritic and weakened hands lose first. Foam tubing answers by adding diameter, so the hand closes around a cushioned grip instead of pinching a shaft. The tubes slide over the handles of eating utensils, toothbrushes, pens, and small tools, then trim to length with scissors.
The assorted pack mixes three inside diameters, two tubes each, to fit handles from slim pens to thick utensils. Closed-cell foam will not soak up water at the sink, and its slip-resistant skin keeps the grip planted in the hand.

Why Foam Tubing Beats Replacing Every Utensil
Built-up utensils cost more per piece and never cover brushes, pens, and tools. One pack of tubing adapts the whole drawer in an afternoon. The assorted sizes mean the right diameter is on hand for each handle.
- Easier, Less Painful Grips – added diameter reduces the pinch force every bite requires.
- Whole Drawer Covered – one pack adapts utensils, brushes, pens, and small tools.
- Trim to Fit – 12 in pieces cut down for short handles like toothbrushes.
- Washable Grip – closed-cell foam goes through the dishwasher with the utensils.
