Product Details

ARK's Sip-Tip makes drinking easier for individuals with difficulties generating and maintaining suction. The set includes: 1 eight oz. tumbler, 1 Select-Flow Valve, and 1 *free* Lip Blok (Yellow, 3/4"). The Select-Flow Valve will keep the straw full of fluid, thereby reducing the air ingested and the effort required for each sip (notice the juice staying at the top of the straw in one of the images above). The valve also slows the flow of fluid, which allows for more control over the quantity of fluid taken with each sip and helps to ensure that fluid is deposited in the front of the mouth. Users tend to experience less coughing and choking and consume more fluids while drinking with the Sip-Tip . An individual can suck from the straw, or can be helped by "pumping" the fluid up the straw with the flexible lid. Simply press the tapered end of the Select-Flow Valve into the bottom of the straw and insert straw into the Sip-Tip tumbler, press the lid on. Cover the vent hole with your finger and press down several times until the liquid reaches the desired height. With the Sip-Tip, users tend to experience less coughing and choking while consuming more fluids. The Sip-Tip is similar to the Cip-Kup and Bear Bottle in function, but with a more professional and discrete design geared towards teenagers through geriatrics. The lid snaps on securely to minimize spillage, and the rigid, high-quality tumbler has graduated marks on its side to monitor fluid intake. The Lip Blok prevents individuals from biting on the straw or putting it too far into their mouths, and can also help decrease tongue protrusion and promote correct tongue and lip positioning. Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc). Not recommended for carbonated beverages. 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 4.5" tall with a 2" diameter at the base and 3" diameter at the top and holds 8oz of fluid. *May be HSA / FSA eligible. Contact your plan administrator for more details.
