The Bionix SafeStraw® Drinking Aid provides an effective, discrete solution for managing fluid intake volume in individuals suffering from dysphagia or impaired swallowing control. Designed to fit into standard drinking cups and disposable straws, the SafeStraw limits fluid delivery to a safe, controlled bolus volume (~6.3 mL for thin liquids and ~3.8 mL for nectar-thick liquids) with each suck. By preventing overly large gulps, it helps reduce the risk of aspiration, coughing, and choking during hydration, restoring independence and confidence during mealtimes for patients in speech therapy, rehabilitation, acute care, and home health settings.
