## Overview

The Bionix SafeStraw Drinking Aid is a precision-engineered tool designed for individuals with dysphagia to safely consume thin fluids. Featuring a patented one-way valve and float system, it delivers controlled 6.2ml sips to reduce aspiration risk. Compatible with standard straws and cups, it disassembles easily for hygienic cleaning. Made in the USA, this discreet aid enhances oral motor control and promotes independent, confident drinking.

## Description

The SafeStraw Drinking Aid for Dysphagia helps people with deficient oral motor skills drink safely. Patients with dysphagia have difficulty swallowing or consuming liquids because of their inability to control the liquid bolus. The SafeStraw provides a limited bolus size by use of a fluid chamber, one way valve, and float. As the patient on the straw, fluid flows through the valve and into the chamber. 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. Once the float has reached the bottom of the chamber they can safely draw another 6.2ml's of fluid. Notes: --Non-returnable due to health and sanitary reasons. --Drinking Aid only. Straws not included. Use any 0.25-in diameter straw. If straw is too long, simply cut to desired length. --For use with thin fluids. Carbonated, honey thickened, or pulpy beverages will render SafeStraw ineffective. Features and Benefits: --Successfully delivers approximately 6.2ml's (roughly 1 tsp) of fluids per . --Alleviates the laborious task of manually controlling volume intake by squeezing the straw or spoon feeding. --Discreet drinking tool --Assists with the prevention of aspiration when drinking fluids. --Assists with oral motor control of a liquid bolus. --Fits in a variety of drinking containers including cups and bottles. --Disassembles for easy cleaning with hot water and soap, or the top rack of a non-industrial dishwasher. --Made in the USA

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for a single device or multiple?**
A: There is one safe straw drinking aid in each order. It can be used multiple times with washing.

**Q: The descriptions says straws not included - do you have to buy separate straws for this product?**
A: You can attach a disposable straw to it!

**Q: Does this include both thin and thick liquid safety straws?**
A: The straws are the size of a regular straw that i got and don't allow very much to pass thru.  They were frustrating for my husband, so we just take sips and don't use the straw.

**Q: can it be used with warm liquid in cup with lid that open/close spout**
A: Yes. We used it with warm liquid such as warm ( not steaming hot) soup as well as cold drinks. Hope it works for you. ☺

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Keeps PD person from choking by regulating the amount of fluids being drawn in.
  

*by V***S on Reviewed in the United States on 23 August 2023*

My hubby is in danger of aspiration and uses a feeding tube - this enables him to use a straw that limits the amount that can be drawn in and avoids the fluids from going down the wrong tube.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Overpriced
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in Saudi Arabia on 31 January 2023*

Overpriced for the plastic item but useful and good quality

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Worked to help with swallowing too much at one time.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on 30 January 2021*

It took me a couple of times to figure out how to use it but it did work unfortunately I have no reason to use it any longer.
