Assistive Tech: As Easy as 1, 2, 3!
The CuraVita Regulating Cup is a crucial piece of low cost assistive technology designed to restore confidence and safety to the act of drinking. It provides a reliable and empowering solution for individuals with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties), allowing for controlled, independent hydration and directly supporting a better quality of life.
Each feature of this cup is engineered to address the specific challenges associated with swallowing difficulties, making it an essential tool for daily living.
Precise Flow Control for Maximum Safety:
With an innovative, easy-to-use dial, this cup dispenses a measured dose of either 5ml or 10ml of liquid per sip. This precision is critical in minimizing the risk of choking or aspiration, empowering users to drink safely at their own pace.
Enjoy Normal Liquids Again:
The cup's regulating mechanism often eliminates the need for expensive and unpalatable thickening agents. This allows users to enjoy water, juice, and other beverages at their normal consistency, promoting better hydration and preserving the dignity of a normal drinking experience.
Secure Dual-Handle Ergonomic Grip:
Designed with two wide, easy-to-hold handles, the cup provides superior stability and control. This is ideal for individuals with tremors, a weak grip, or limited hand dexterity resulting from conditions like stroke, Parkinson's, or arthritis.
Durable, Spill-Resistant, and Easy to Clean:
Crafted from high-quality, medical-grade materials, this cup is built to last. The spill-resistant design minimizes mess and frustration, while the simple, easy-to-disassemble parts are top-rack dishwasher-safe, ensuring effortless hygiene for users and caregivers.
This dysphagia cup is an excellent example of assistive technology that directly supports NDIS goals under the "Improved Daily Living" domain. By enabling safer, independent hydration, it helps build capacity, enhances personal safety, and can reduce the need for hands-on support during meals and throughout the day. It is a practical and effective tool for achieving greater autonomy.
