Features
- Variety pack: 6 white and 6 blue SafeStraws
- 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
- Designed for use with thin, water like liquids or nectar thickened liquids
