Bionix Health at Home Safestraw Drinking Aid for Nectar Thickened Liquids, Blue

I highly recommend this item for anyone with dysphagia. This item was recommened by E.N.T specialist for my son who has chronic seizures. Very easy to use and easy to wash. You can use regular size straw with it which comes separate. Depending on the size of the cup or glass the straw will need to be cut to size suitable for drinking. This item has been very useful and helpful for my son's condition. There is a small ball inside the tube to help regulate the amount of fluid the person takes in at a time. Worth the purchase.

This did not work for my Mom who had a stroke. The weight at the bottom kept getting stuck. Straw didn't seat well. Waste of money.

Ordered 8 straws. 1 of the 8 boxes did not have a straw in the box. They are sending out a replacement straw.

Requires too much suction. Person who would need such a device probably doesn't have the lung strength to use -- my mom didn't. Good idea tho.But the company refunded cost immediately and I guess bc it's a personal device, can't resell so I didnt even have to ship back.

Safestraw arrived quickly and performs better than another product we tried. I would recommend this safestraw.
