Dysphagia is the medical term for difficulty in swallowing. 1 in 3 Australians over the age of 65 suffer from the condition, which can result in dehydration and malnutrition.
Flavour Creations has launched a Dysphagia Cup, to enable individuals who experience difficulty holding their own cup to independently feed themselves.
The cup complements the company’s range of nutritionally dense ready-to-drink products in 29 flavours and three viscosities.
The cup has an angled shape that allows the contents to be sipped without tilting the head, which is a necessary postural adjustment for people with dysphagia. It also has a suitable diameter, curvature, ribbed sides and indentations for ease of holding. The large foil lid has external ribbing and embossed texture to assist with a manual grip.
The cup is suitable for hospitals, residential aged care and those living at home in the community.
