85047 Regulating Drinking Cup, Dispenses 5cc of Liquid Each time the Cup is Put Down and Lifted

outrageous price

My daughters speech therapist urged us to get this cup for her. It is working great. She had trouble with a traditional cup causing her to cough. The regulated 10cc has worked great in preventing her from gulping. I just wanted to pass on that the speech person did a viscosity test to see if the creamy Boost was too thick. It was not but you do have to tip the cup a little bit longer than with thinner liquids. I also want people to be aware that while it doesn't take too much strength to attach the brown top to the cup portion but it does take a lot to attach the 2 brown parts to each other as well as to take them apart to wash. On another topic, I would like to know why they don't make the 10cc in blue. My daughter was not to thrilled with a boring brown color cup.

We were told about this cup by the rehab facility my brother was in after suffering a stroke that affected his swallowing. He is able to drink on his own with this as it stringently regulates the amount of fluid. Prior he had to be given liquids one spoonfull at a time. One of the pieces of the original cup broke in less than 3 months. We were able to purchase that piece, but needed a new cup immediately as the piece was on back order. Also price is very cost prohibitive for someone on a fixed income. The nursing home, Medicaid and Medicare would NOT pay for these and Medicaid only allows him to keep $30 per month of his social security. The top pulls off the cup rather than twisting, which I have seen confuse the care staff. Sometimes when they refill his cup they put the drinking spout over the handle making it impossible for him to drink so some kind of marking showing the correct placement would be helpful. The fill line is difficult to see which also has caused some confusion-an upgrade to safety would be for this line to be colored or thicker.

I returned this cup because it leaked water, and it didn't perform as expected. Despite its design to dispense a fixed amount of liquid, it didn't meet my needs. I was disappointed with its functionality.

Nice cup but too expensive!

This has helped my husband so much with his swallowing issue where i used to have to pours 5 oz in a cup at a time. This regulates it great. hew dropped it once and the cap broke, had it been thicker plastic it would not have broken, now he shakes the fluid all over the house as not sealed. If they can make stronger model that would be awesome.

Cup worked great for first day. This cup was recommended for my husband who just got home from hospital after his stroke by his speech therapist, but it started leaking after I rinsed out by hand.

I’ve been on a feeding tube and struggling to stay hydrated. The blue cup allows you to have 5cc at a time and the brown cup allows 10cc at a time. This cup is perfect and safe and allows me to get enough fluids safely. I just bought the blue cup and will definitely purchase the brown cup as i progress. Godsend!!
