Pletho is developing SPN1, a spoon which eliminates food spills from plate to mouth for people living with tremors and fine motor control challenges.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., July 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pletho, a recently launched assistive-tech startup, is proud to announce the upcoming launch of SPN1. Designed to empower individuals with fine motor control and dexterity challenges, SPN1 promises to revolutionize mealtime experiences for people with hand tremors.
Pletho was founded with a singular mission: to make life easier for those facing everyday challenges due to fine motor control impairments. Our team of experts combines decades of experience in product development, mass manufacturing, and product compliance. We are committed to creating innovative solutions that enhance independence and dignity for people with fine motor control and dexterity challenges in their daily lives.
SPN1 emerged from a real-world need. Ellen, a person living with Parkinson's disease (who struggled with food spills during meals), approached Pletho's founder in late 2022. Frustrated by existing options that failed to address her specific requirements, Ellen sought a simple, spill-resistant spoon that she could use confidently in public. The collaborative process of prototyping and design with her and other people with various conditions like hers led us to create SPN1, a sleek and dignified solution that works better than anything else out there.
Key Features of SPN1:
- Anti-Spill Technology: SPN1's patent pending "containment" technology prevents accidental spills, allowing users to enjoy meals without worry.
- Ergonomic Grip: The spoon's comfortable grip accommodates various hand sizes and minimizes strain.
- Discreet Aesthetics: SPN1 blends seamlessly into any dining setting, ensuring users feel at ease.
- Durable Materials: Crafted from high-quality materials, SPN1 withstands daily use and cleaning.
- Easy to Clean: SPN1 is water resistant for easy hand washing.
Pletho is excited to announce our upcoming Kickstarter campaign this fall, which will offer people interested in SPN1 the ability to buy one of the first spoons ever released to the public. Stay tuned for more updates by visiting our website and following us on social media.
