Device Description
The Non-Slip Mat is a stabilizing surface designed to prevent objects from moving during everyday tasks. This device functions as assistive technology by increasing friction between surfaces, supporting stability and reducing the need for grip strength or constant hand positioning.
The non-slip mat can support individuals who benefit from increased surface stability, including individuals with reduced hand strength, limited dexterity, or differences in motor control. It may be used in home, classroom, or care environments to support tasks such as eating, food preparation, writing, or operating objects that typically slide on flat surfaces.
The mat is made from a flexible, high-friction material that grips both the surface beneath it and the item placed on top. This dual-sided grip helps keep objects such as plates, bowls, cutting boards, utensils, or containers in place during use, reducing unintended movement or slipping.
The material is designed to be soft and conforming, allowing it to adapt to different shapes and surfaces while maintaining consistent stability. This supports use across a variety of tasks and environments without requiring permanent attachment or setup.
The mat can be cut or trimmed to different sizes and shapes, allowing it to be customized for specific applications. When borrowing from Oklahoma ABLE Tech, please do not cut the mat. This supports use in a wide range of settings, including under dishes, on trays, or beneath objects that require additional stabilization.
The surface is reusable and easy to clean, supporting ongoing use in daily routines. It can typically be wiped or washed to maintain performance and hygiene.
