Bionix 202 SafeStraw Drinking Aid (Thin Liquids)

The bionix Health at Home SafeStraw Drinking Aid for Thin Liquids helps patients with deficient oropharyn­geal or oral motor skills drink safely. Patients with this type of dysfunc­tion have difficulty consuming liquids because of the inability to control the liquid bolus. This difficulty with swallowing is often diagnosed as dysphagia, a condition shared by over 15,000,000 Americans. The SafeStraw limits the nutrition intake of a 1/4 in. diameter flexi-straw (2 included). As the patient sips on the straw with SafeStraw, the beverage flows through the valve and into the chamber causing the float to rise. After the float reaches the top of the chamber, the SafeStraw will prevent the patient from receiving any more fluid. Each sip will limit the nutrition intake to approximately 6.2 ml (1 tsp) allowing an ability to control the liquid orally and safely swallow. The SafeStraw can also be used with your own 1/4 in. diameter flexi-straw.
