Dysphagia Cup

This Almond coloured Dysphagia Cup features a unique design that helps to promote dignity in those users living with dysphagia and other disorders associated with difficulty swallowing. The unique shape of the cup encourages the user to tuck their chin towards the chest thus giving swallowing mechanisms time work. Compared to standard drinking cups this design reduces the risk of liquids escaping on contact with the mouth and directs the contents of the cup in a more controlled way. Furthermore, the Dysphagia Cup give good nose clearance so the cup can be emptied without the need for the user to tilt their head backwards. To ensure this drinking cup is suitable even for those with limited dexterity it features an over-sized broad handle that can be gripped by the whole hand or even just the thumb.
