"sippa" - The drinking aid for swallowing disorders
sippa - Medical drinking aid
sippa is a medical drinking aid for people with swallowing disorders or movement restrictions. It helps sufferers to pursue their normal drinking habits without outside help.
The patented sippa mechanism allows the affected person to drink with their head lowered, thus preventing swallowing. The cup can be emptied without having to change the head position.

Your advantages with sippa
Patients with mobility or cognitive limitations have many benefits from using sippa. The easy handling and the spill protection offer the help to be able to drink independently without having to rely on caregivers. Due to the gained independence, dehydration and other nutritional deficiencies can be prevented.
sippa promotes an optimal head position for carefree drinking, the so-called Chin-Down or Chin-Tuck maneuver, especially for people with dysphagia. Habitual wetting of the lips and normal swallowing boluses enable a natural swallowing mechanism.
sippa ensures fewer complications by reducing the risk of aspiration, thus reducing unnecessary hospitalization and unnecessary costs.
Modularity for every situation:
sippa is a completely modular system to adapt to the needs of the user.
Spill protection, handles and the patented sippa mechanism can be used optionally with the standard cup.
Each individual part is also available as a 10-pack in our store!
