At Kettering Surgical Appliances Ltd, we understand the daily challenges faced by individuals living with dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). Maintaining hydration can become a daunting task, often requiring thickened fluids or constant caregiver support. The Provale® Cup provides a dignified, clinically effective solution that enables safer drinking and restores independence.
Designed for Safer Swallowing
The Provale® Cup delivers small, measured sips of thin liquids—either 5cc or 10cc per drinking motion—making it easier and safer for those with swallowing difficulties to remain hydrated. Each time the cup is tilted in a normal drinking action, a precisely controlled volume is dispensed. No suction is required, and no additional fluid is released until the cup is returned to an upright position.
This patented anti-suck mechanism helps prevent over-delivery of fluid, which can reduce the risk of aspiration. It’s a simple, effective tool in supporting safer oral intake and lowering the risk of complications such as aspiration pneumonia, which claims more than 40,000 lives annually.
Independence With Dignity
Styled to resemble a standard travel mug, the Provale Cup supports discreet use at home, in care settings, or outdoors. It promotes independence for users who might otherwise rely on constant assistance, while also easing the burden on caregivers.
