SafeStraw
Made with a special one-way valve and “float” design that regulates how much fluid can be sipped through the straw at one time. When the user sucks on the straw, fluid flows through the valve and into the chamber.
Price range: $ 277 through $ 431
Clinical Overview & Therapeutic Principles
Made with a special one-way valve and “float” design that regulates how much fluid can be sipped through the straw at one time. When the user sucks on the straw, fluid flows through the valve and into the chamber. When the fluid travels, the float rises and then cuts off the supply, allowing roughly one teaspoon of liquid per sip.
Core Therapeutic Capabilities & Innovation
Made with a special one-way valve and “float” design that regulates how much fluid can be sipped through the straw at one time. When the user sucks on the straw, fluid flows through the valve and into the chamber. When the fluid travels, the float rises and then cuts off the supply, allowing roughly one teaspoon of liquid per sip.
The SafeStraw is made for individuals with deficient oral motor skills. This is commonly diagnosed as dysphagia. Dysphagia is the difficulty of consuming liquids due to the inability to control the liquid bolus. The SafeStraw eliminates the need for manual control of fluid intake and allows the user to drink liquids more independently.
Clinical Indications & Medical Applications
- Straw Holders can be used with any normal straw and are hand wash only
- Designed to easily control fluid intake for patients with dysphagia
- Excellent for both regular and thickened liquids including water, smoothies, and juice
- Aids in preventing aspiration and oral motor control of liquid and can manually be control by squeezing the straw
- Made to fit in a variety of drink containers including cups and bottles and is small enough to be taken anywhere
- Features a one-way valve and “float” design that allows one teaspoon of liquid per drink
