One-Way Drinking Straws for Parkinson's Patients (Pack of 2)

Sucking on a straw with limited mobility can be extremely challenging, making meeting hydration and nutrition goals difficult for physically weaker patients. However, the One-Way Drinking Straws for Parkinson's Patients (Pack of 2) is the best way to ensure patients suffering from dysphagia can drink sufficient amounts. These straws come in a handy pack of two designs of differing lengths, allowing them to be used in various types of glasses for improved patient independence and safety.

What's Included?

• 2 x Straws
• 2 x Straw Clips

Key Features

• Reduces air intake during sips, making drinking easier for people with limited mobility
• Liquid won't flow back down the straw, preventing spills and mess
• Specifically designed for Parkinson's disease to meet hydration needs
• Attachable to glasses and mugs with the included clips for various drinkware
• Each package includes one 250mm (10") and one 170mm (7") straw for versatility

Ideal for Parkinson's Patients

The One-Way Drinking Straws can aid Parkinson's patients by providing a controlled and consistent fluid flow during drinking, minimising the risk of spills and frustration. The design prevents the backflow of liquid, reducing the likelihood of aspiration for individuals with impaired swallowing reflexes often seen in Parkinson's disease. This helps maintain hydration and improves the overall drinking experience for Parkinson's patients, making this a brilliant tool for use in care, hospital and personal environments.
