Product information "ARK's Select-Flow Valves (3 Pack)"
One-Way Valve for Safer & Controlled Drinking
ARK's One-Way Valve makes drinking easier for beginners and individuals with oral motor challenges.
Specifically designed to control fluid direction, the valve keeps liquid at the top of the straw – preventing it from flowing back into the cup. This reduces the effort needed to initiate suction and minimizes the risk of air intake, coughing, or choking – especially beneficial for individuals with aspiration concerns or weak sucking ability.
