An alternative to syringe feeding

This drink reservoir delivers fluid through a side port at the bottom into a soft, silicone rubber drinking nozzle. The care giver controls the flow of fluid by covering or uncovering an air-hole in the screw cap. The care giver can squeeze the tube to control delivery of the fluid into the patient's mouth. The device can be used for hot or cold drinks. The top and nozzle collar can be unscrewed for washing and sterilizing. Tapered nozzle is 5 1/2" (140 mm) long with 250 ml (8 oz.) reservoir. Institutional dishwasher safe.
