Dysphagia Regulating Drinking Cup for Difficulty Swallowing Disorders - Controlled Sips Adult Size (8oz) Cup Prevents Aspiration - 2 Handles for Secure Grip - Adjustable 3-15cc, Made in Canada

This cup works well for our friend who has dementia and problems swallowing regular liquids. Thanks to the well-written instructions, we had no problems with the cup’s assembly and adjusting the correct sip size. The cup neatly delivers thick liquids IDDSI 2, it was important for us because he cannot drink regular liquids anymore. The cup holds about 8 oz. But, one has to remember that with thick liquids you need to prepare a fresh drink often because the liquids with a thickener gets thicker that you originally prepared within a short period of time. We bought the red cup as we were told that the bright color dishes and cups prompt people with dementia to drink and eat more - It seems that it’s working as he consumes more liquid now. The large handles are quite helpful for his arthritic hands. On the negative side - the cup could be less expensive though. But otherwise we are very satisfied – the cup does what it should.

I set the cup up for my Mom to use and it was working for a short while, then she started to complain that no liquids were flowing from it at all. Sure enough she was right. Compared to her other cups, this one is difficult to use. It also has too many small pieces that can get lost and for some reason the inserts just don't work that well. It's more work than it's worth —especially for the price I paid for it.

This is unbelieveable fantastic, even our occuptional therapist keeps talking about how great it is to everyone.
