Product information "ARK's Cip-Kup™ Assembly"
Drinking bottle with one-way valve and straw assistance
The ARK® S Cip‑Kup Set makes drinking easier for beginners or individuals with oral-motor challenges. A special one-way valve keeps the liquid at the top of the straw once drawn up – a gentle squeeze is enough to initiate flow and maintain the liquid position, reducing suction effort and minimizing coughing or aspiration.
🎯 Use Cases
- For weak sucking patterns or swallowing difficulties
- Supports transition from bottle to straw without sippy cups
- Reduces aerophagia (air swallowing) – ideal for minimizing coughing and aspiration
✅ Instructions
- Squeeze the bottle until the liquid reaches the straw tip
- The valve prevents backflow – simplifies the drinking process (can also be used without the valve)
- Straw should be held between the lips – not bitten
- The included Lip Blok® helps prevent over-insertion of the straw
