Make drinking easier and require less effort with AML One-Way Drinking Straws.
Designed for people who have difficulty maintaining suction when drinking through a standard straw, each straw contains a one-way valve that keeps liquid inside the straw between sips. This means the user does not need to draw the liquid all the way up the straw with every sip.
By keeping the straw primed with liquid, these adaptive straws may be particularly helpful for people with reduced oral strength, fatigue or difficulty coordinating sucking and drinking.
An adjustable clip attaches the straw to the side of a suitable cup or glass, helping keep it securely positioned and preventing it from moving around or falling out.
Each pack contains two different straw lengths, providing options for different cups, glasses and drinking positions.

Important Information
For anyone with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), the safest type of straw and appropriate drink consistency can vary. A one-way straw is not suitable for everyone with swallowing difficulties and should only be used in accordance with advice from a speech-language therapist or other appropriate healthcare professional when dysphagia is present.
