Provale Cup

The Small Sips Cup for Dysphagia

Thanks to the input of hundreds of Speech Language Pathologists and Occupational Therapists from around the world, we designed a cup that helps eliminate the need for thickener and provides individuals with more independence.

Safety & Independence

For those living with swallowing disorders (dysphagia), the simple task of drinking can be a daunting challenge. Because those with dysphagia have a higher risk of choking, they may require constant assistance from a caregiver which can result in feeling a loss of independence.

Physically, individuals with dysphagia may experience dehydration and malnourishment. Of greater concern is that more than 40,000 Americans die each year from aspiration pneumonia, a complication related to dysphagia.

The Technology

Designed for those with dysphagia, the Provale Cup delivers a fixed measured dose of fluid. When the cup is tilted in a typical drinking motion, liquid travels out of a measurement device. Before any additional liquid is released for consumption, the cup must be returned to an upright position and the drinking motion repeated. With each drinking action, the cup dispenses a small amount (5 cc or 10 cc) of liquid that many people with dysphagia may be able to safely consume.

Assembly and Disassembly

The Provale Cup is designed as a cup within a cup so it is easy to assemble and disassemble. It is top rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
