ARK Premium One-Way Valve
€26.95*
ARK's Premium One-Way Valve makes drinking easier by controlling the direction of fluid - fluid flows up into the straw, but does not empty back into the cup.Because fluid always stays at the top of the straw, less effort is required for each sip and less air is ingested. As a result, users tend to experience less coughing while consuming more fluids. The valve is easy to take apart, clean, and put back together.Highly recommended for individuals with oral motor difficulties, a weak suck, or problems generating and maintaining suction. Made in the USA out of stainless steel that will not rustAll parts can be boiled in water to ensure sanitary conditions Sold individually Compatible with most regular drinking straws measuring .25" in diameter
Measures just over 2 inches in length Included in the package is an extra (spare) stainless steel ball and washer Not recommended for carbonated beverages Recommended for thin liquids (water, milk, juice without pulp, etc).
This may vary by brand of thickener, but in general if you're using thickened liquids, "nectar" consistency works fine. "Honey" is a bit harder to suck through the straw, but it does work. "Pudding" does not work, as it's too thick to drink through even a regular straw without a valve. CAUTION: Contains small parts that may pose a choking hazard; please supervise at all times.

Drinking with one-way valve – ideal for oral-motor support
The ARK’s Bear Bottle Kit is a fun, therapist-recommended drinking system designed to support beginners and individuals with oral-motor difficulties. The bottle includes a one-way valve that keeps liquid at the top of the straw—reducing the effort required to suck and helping prevent aspiration. A gentle squeeze brings the liquid up; the valve holds it there.
🎯 Use CasesIdeal for individuals with weak suction or oral-motor delaysSupports transition from bottle to straw without sippy cupsPromotes tongue retraction, cheek strength, and lip closureRecommended for clients with risk of aspiration or poor oral control
✅ InstructionsSqueeze the bottle gently until liquid reaches the top of the strawThe one-way valve prevents liquid from flowing back down (can also be used without the valve)Straw should always be held between the lips—not the teethThe included Lip Blok® helps guide proper straw placement and prevents bitingFor shorter sizes, see our other Lip BloksReplace the straw if necessary with the ARK's Tubing flexible Straws, One-Way Straws or replacement Straws
