SwallowMIST™ by TheraSIP provides a safe way to practice swallows. The unit emits a fine mist to help to moisten the mouth either prior to swallow exercises or as a means of practicing dry swallow initiation. SwallowMIST™ works well for patients with dysphagia or for patients who are designated nothing-by-mouth except for ice chips. Once the unit is filled 2/3rds with water, SwallowMIST™ is pressurized by pumping. Once pressurized, the unit is activated by pressing the button. One short press provides less than 1mL of water; held down longer the unit will produce a prolonged mist and increase the amount dispensed. Clean prior to use.
SwallowMIST was developed for hospitalized patients that are NPO. It will not endure sustained use nor substitute for oral intake. It is a disposable, short term use product. We cannot warranty beyond two weeks of purchase.
