The Novo Cup is a specialized drinking aid designed to eliminate the need to sit up or raise the head while drinking. Fluid will not spill from the cup even when it is lying on its side, and a valve on the lid stops the flow of fluid when closed — giving the user full control over intake by sucking on the spout. Ideal for individuals who are confined to bed, need to drink while lying down, or have limited neck or head mobility. The Novo Cup helps reduce the risk of choking, promotes independent drinking, and reduces the need for caregiver assistance during hydration. Holds 8.5 oz (250 ml). Comes with 11 straws. Dishwasher, autoclave, and microwave safe. 12-month warranty on parts and labor.
Patients who are confined to bed due to illness, injury, or post-surgical recovery and need to hydrate without assistance from a caregiver will find the Novo Cup’s spill-proof, valve-controlled design allows safe, independent drinking in any position. Individuals with limited neck or head mobility due to cervical spine conditions, neurological disorders, or post-operative restrictions who cannot safely tilt their head back to drink from a standard cup will benefit from the Novo Cup’s ability to deliver fluid without requiring head elevation. Patients at elevated risk for aspiration or choking during drinking — including those with dysphagia, stroke, or neuromuscular conditions — will find the controlled-flow valve allows them to manage the rate of fluid intake more safely than an open cup or standard straw. Occupational therapists and speech-language pathologists who recommend adaptive drinking aids for patients with swallowing difficulties or positional limitations will find the Novo Cup a clinically practical tool for promoting safe hydration and drinking independence. Caregivers and family members managing hydration for a bedridden or mobility-limited loved one will find the spill-proof design and valve control reduce the risk of spills, aspiration events, and the need for hands-on assistance during every drink.
How does the valve work?
The lid features a valve that, when open, allows fluid to flow through the spout when the user applies suction. When the valve is closed, fluid flow stops completely even if the cup is tipped or lying on its side. This gives the user direct control over when and how much fluid they receive with each sip.
Can this cup be used with hot liquids?
Yes. The Novo Cup is designed for use with both hot and cold fluids. Use appropriate caution when filling with hot liquids, and allow hot beverages to cool to a safe drinking temperature before use, particularly for patients with reduced sensation or swallowing difficulties.
Is the cup easy to clean?
Yes. The Novo Cup is dishwasher safe, autoclave safe, and microwave safe, making it easy to clean and sterilize in both home and clinical settings. Disassemble the lid and valve components before washing to ensure thorough cleaning of all parts.
How many straws are included, and are replacement straws available?
The Novo Cup comes with 11 straws. If additional straws are needed, contact us or check for compatible replacement straws sized to the Novo Cup’s straw port (outside diameter 0.25 inches).
