Designed for people with dysphagia, the Provale Cup delivers a fixed measured dose of fluid. When the cup is tilted in a typical drinking motion, liquid travels out of a measurement device. Before any additional liquid is released for consumption, the cup must be returned to an upright position and the drinking motion repeated. With each drinking action, the cup dispenses a small amount (5 cc or a teaspoon amount) of liquid that many living with dysphagia may be able to safely consume.
Features:
The Provale® Cup - in a normal drinking motion - delivers 5 cc (1 teaspoon)
By returning the cup to its upright position, the chamber is refilled and ready to deliver another amount of liquid. This process encourages normal drinking habits and small swallows
The Provale® Cup's ease of use may allow for more patient independence. (Because individual patient needs vary, a trained healthcare professional must make the decision on patient independence)
No over-delivery unlike a "sippy" cup
Sucking on the drinking spout will not result in additional fluid being dispensed
Proper Chin Position: The Cup-In-A-Cup design of the Provale® Cup provides very good nose clearance which allows patients to keep their chin in a proper position to make a good swallow
Special Handles: The handles of the Provale® Cup have been designed with patient needs in mind. The handles arrive detached from the cup and can be attached to one side or the other or both sides. Once attached, the handles "lock-on" and are not meant to be removed
