Product Details

The ARK Cip-KupT makes drinking easier for beginners and/or individuals with oral motor difficulties. It features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply press the tapered end of the Select-Flow Valve into the bottom of the straw and insert straw into the Cip-Kup tumbler, twist the cap on. Squeeze the drink bottle until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release. Fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink. A full straw also reduces the air ingested, and so users experience less coughing and choking while consuming more fluids. Highly recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or have difficulties generating and maintaining suction (a weak suck). Kit includes: 1 flexible drink bottle with a twist-on cap, 10 standard drinking straws, an 8 inch tubing straw (a reusable, chewable, durable alternative to straws), 1 Select-Flow Valve (can be trimmed to increase the flow and further decrease the effort required to drink), and 1 yellow Lip Blok (3/4") (discourages biting on the straw or inserting it too far into the mouth). Specifications: Made from non-toxic, food grade materials. Dishwasher safe. Crafted in our own factory in Columbia, SC for quality and safety assurance. Bottle measures approximately 2.5 x 2.5 x 5" and holds approximately 10 fluid ounces *May be HSA / FSA eligible. Contact your plan administrator for more details.
