Helps patients with deficient oropharyngeal or oral motor skills drink safely
Provides a limited bolus size by use of a fluid chamber, one way valve, and float
When the fluid travels through the chamber to the straw, the float rises.After around 6.2ml’s the float reaches the top of the chamber closing it off preventing the patient from receiving more fluid
Once they stop sucking, the float sinks to the bottom of the chamber.This break gives them time to control the liquid bolus and safely swallow
