Dear All,
I have been contacted by our local OT department about a client who is
unable to suck with sufficinet power to get a drink through a straw. The OT
has heard of a device that assists in the provision of fluid via a straw,
apparently reacting to closure of the mouth around the straw, initiating a
pumping action.
Has anyone heard of such a device or I am away with fairies!!!
Any info/details would be most welcome
