Hydration is essential to one’s overall wellbeing. However, staying properly hydrated may not always be easy for some individuals with different mobility impairments. School Health (formerly known as EnableMart) offers a potential solution with their Giraffe Bottle with Holder Hands-Free Drinking System!
The Giraffe Bottle is a hydration system built specifically for individuals with special needs. According to School Health’s description, “The system is designed to be adaptive to the user, flexible, and easy to use.” It is ideal for individuals with cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, and more.
One of the unique features of the Giraffe Bottle is its inclusion of a check valve:
“With the check valve in place, liquid won’t retreat back into the bottle after taking a sip. For those with limited lung function, keeping liquid primed and at-the-ready makes staying hydrated a breeze. If the check valve isn’t necessary for user’s application, simply unscrew the neck, remove the check valve, and it’s that easy.”
