Abstract: An adaptive holder is used to provide those lacking fine hand motor control skills and limited arm and shoulder range of motion with the ability to conveniently extend and orient utensils such as forks and spoons. Used with a universal adapter cuff, the holder includes a slotted head which receives the utensil handle. A gripping portion, attached to the head, is received by the cuff. The utensil may be angularly oriented relative to the head and is secured thereto by a frictional interference fit.

Abstract: A mask can be used on a face of a wearer having a head, a face, a nose, and a mouth. The mask can comprise a transparent body defining a peripheral rim that is configured to engage the face of the wearer. The transparent body can be configured to simultaneously cover the mouth and the nose of the wearer. The transparent body can define at least one aperture. The transparent body can define a circumferential surface around each aperture. A respective filter media can extend across and covers each aperture of the at least one aperture. A respective retaining element can be configured to retain the respective filter media across each aperture. The circumferential surface around each aperture can be configured to cooperate with the retaining element to retain the respective filter media between the retaining element and the circumferential surface.
