Thick Liquid Straw SafeStraw™ Blue

Features

• 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
