## Overview

The Bionix SafeStraw Drinking Aid is a medically designed straw that helps individuals with dysphagia safely control liquid intake. Featuring a patented float and one-way valve system, it limits each sip to 6.2ml, allowing users to manage swallowing with confidence. Compatible with standard straws and lightweight for easy portability, it’s a trusted solution recommended by healthcare professionals to reduce aspiration risks and improve hydration safety.

## Description

The SafeStraw provides a limited bolus size by use of a fluid chamber, one way valve, and float. As the patient sucks on the straw, fluid flows through the valve and into the chamber. When the fluid travels through the chamber to the straw, the float rises. After around 6.2ml’s the float reaches the top of the chamber closing it off preventing the patient from receiving more fluid. Once they stop sucking, the float sinks to the bottom of the chamber. This break gives them time to control the liquid bolus and safely swallow. Once the float has reached the bottom of the chamber they can safely draw another 6.2ml’s of fluid. Any standard ¼" drinking straw will fit the tapered end of the SafeStraw device. If straw is too long, simply cut to desired length. This version is for use with THIN liquids

Review: Nurses at our hospital came to see how this would work for their swallow patiences TRUE STORY - My wife is swalling problems and we needed to restrict the amount of fluids she takes in at meals. We have about 5 SafeStraws, 2 for the house, one in our van for trips and eating out, and one in my wifes pack when she goes out with her care giver. TRUE STORY We took it to the swallow nurse at the hospital and she was so impressed she had two other nurses come in and see it, the about 10 minutes later another nurse came in to see it. Well worth the investment to save someone from asperating while drinking fluids.
Review: Worked to help with swallowing too much at one time. - It took me a couple of times to figure out how to use it but it did work unfortunately I have no reason to use it any longer.

## Features

- The SafeStraw Drinking Aid helps patients with deficient oropharyngeal or oral motor skills drink safely. Patients with this type of dysfunction have difficulty consuming liquids because of their inability to control the liquid bolus. This difficulty with swallowing is often diagnosed as dysphagia, a condition shared by over 15,000,000 Americans and is treated by SLPs, PTs and Home Nursing Care.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this for a single device or multiple?**
A: There is one safe straw drinking aid in each order. It can be used multiple times with washing.

**Q: The descriptions says straws not included - do you have to buy separate straws for this product?**
A: You can attach a disposable straw to it!

**Q: Does this include both thin and thick liquid safety straws?**
A: The straws are the size of a regular straw that i got and don't allow very much to pass thru.  They were frustrating for my husband, so we just take sips and don't use the straw.

**Q: can it be used with warm liquid in cup with lid that open/close spout**
A: Yes. We used it with warm liquid such as warm ( not steaming hot) soup as well as cold drinks. Hope it works for you. ☺

### ⭐ Doesn’t work as expected
*by M***E on September 25, 2022*

This straw doesn’t do the trick. It’s very easy to continually suck fluids and doesn’t seem to prevent aspiration. Not what we were hoping for but happy to see there’s manufacturers trying to make things for people in this unfortunate situation.
