What are the main benefits of the Drinkup21 hands free drinking system?
The main benefit is that it enables users to stay hydrated without relying on others. It reduces the risk of spills, helps encourage consistent fluid intake, and gives greater independence to people who may struggle with lifting or holding drinks.
Who would find this product most useful?
It is ideal for individuals with limited mobility, those confined to a bed or wheelchair, or anyone who has difficulty gripping or lifting cups. It is also beneficial for people at risk of dehydration, as it makes it easier to take small sips throughout the day.
How does the system reduce the risk of dehydration?
The flexible tubing and bite valve mean that the user can drink whenever they choose, without assistance. Having access to fluids at all times makes it easier to maintain a healthy fluid intake, which is particularly important for people who cannot always signal their need for a drink.
Is the Drinkup21 system easy to set up and use?
Yes, the system is designed to be simple and practical. It can be attached securely to beds, wheelchairs, or tables, with the drinking tube positioned comfortably for the user. The bite valve ensures controlled drinking without leaks or spills.
Can carers benefit from this system too?
Absolutely. By reducing the need for constant assistance with drinks, carers can save time and focus on other areas of support. It also provides reassurance that the person they care for has independent access to fluids at all times.
