ARK's Cip Kup Assembly for Straw Drinking

Cip-Kup™ Bottle Straw Drinking Kit by ARK Therapeutic

ARK's Cip-Kup™ makes drinking easier for beginners and/or any individual with oral motor difficulties. It features a unique valve that controls the direction of fluid - liquid flows up into the straw, but does not flow back down. Simply squeeze the bottle until fluid reaches the top of the straw and release - fluid will stay at the top of the straw, thereby decreasing the effort required to drink.

A full straw also reduces the air ingested, so users experience less coughing and choking while consuming more fluids. The Cip-Kup is recommended for individuals who tend to aspirate or may have difficulties generating and maintaining suction. This may include children, adults and the elderly.

ARK’s Cip-Kup Assembly Kit includes -

• An easy-to-squeeze flexible bottle with a blue twist-on cap
• A Select-Flow Valve
• 1 x 8 inches (20cm) of polytubing straw (reusable)
• 10 standard disposable plastic drinking straws
• 1 Yellow Lip Blok® Straw Topper (3/4")
• Instructions

The Cip-Kup Bottle holds approximately 8 ounces of fluid (225ml). The bottle measures approximately 2.5" x 2.5" x 5" (5cm x 5cm x 12.5cm)

Made from medical grade materials that are FDA compliant - free from BPA, latex, lead, phthalates and PVC

Please Note -

• Not recommended for carbonated beverages
• Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc)
• If you're using thickened liquids, in general for most thickener brands: "nectar" consistency works fine. If you trim the tapered end of the valve to open up the flow, "honey" will work but will be harder to suck through the straw. "Pudding" does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve
• Compatible with most standard 0.25" diameter straws
• Bottle made in Germany, all other parts are made in the USA
