Swallowing Support Cup (Nosey Cup)

Support safer, easier drinking when swallowing becomes difficult with a specialized cut-out cup design.

This nosey cup features a unique cut-out design that allows drinking without tilting the head back—reducing choking risk when swallowing is compromised, making hydration easier and safer, and helping individuals maintain independence and dignity during drinking when swallowing difficulties emerge in advanced dementia.

Key Features:

• Cut-out nose bridge design allows drinking without tilting head back, reducing aspiration risk
• Clear construction lets caregivers monitor liquid levels and intake
• Easy-grip handles provide secure hold even with weakened grip strength
• Spill-resistant design reduces mess during drinking
• Dishwasher safe maintains hygiene with easy cleaning
• Appropriate capacity holds sufficient liquid without being too heavy when full

How It Helps:

Swallowing difficulties increase choking and aspiration risk in advanced dementia. Traditional cups require tilting the head back, which makes swallowing more dangerous. Nosey cups allow individuals to drink in a safer head position, reducing choking risk while maintaining hydration independence and dignity during a critical daily activity.

Recommended for: Moderate to advanced dementia, individuals experiencing swallowing difficulties or dysphagia, those at risk for aspiration, or anyone needing safer drinking solutions.
