Hydrate For Health The Hydrant 1 L Drinking Bottle with Tube, Latex free (Eligible for VAT Relief in The UK)

This wonderful drinking bottle hangs on my wheelchair throughout the day and hangs over the end of my bed throughout the night. It is so easy to use - it took me about 3 minutes to get the hang of it. It does not drip and has no taste. It's so wonderful not to have to ask people to get me a drink. To have the independence to just be able to have a drink of water when you want could not be fully understood by an able-bodied person, but it's fantastic! I cannot recommend this highly enough. It would be particularly useful for anyone with limited dexterity, who is unable to turn on a tap or open a bottle of water.

I had this for when I was in labour in hospital. I knew that I would struggle to keep myself hydrated if I'd have to keep reaching for a cup, Esspecially while in pain and exhausted. While in labour I refilled this bottle atleast 5 times which kept me hydrated and stopped my lips from drying up from all the gas and air. Not only was this item perfect while I was having my baby girl, but i still use it now! I use it when breastfeeding as I get so thirsty while feeding my little one and she can feed at times for 20 minutes on each side. My friend who had a c section said she wished she new about this item before she had her little girl as she was physically unable to move freely, stretch, sit up straight,ect. She struggled keeping herself hydrated and while at the hospital over night would get upset by how many times she'd have to ask for help to reach a cup of water. The quality was brilliant, it arrived on time and it is exactly as described.

Great idea, great for the money, my mum was that weak she couldn't suck through the straw!

This product has been a livesaver for us. The patient is a recovering alcoholic and has terrible shakes. Using a glass/cup for juice was a big no no, and we have tried using all kinds of sports bottles/water bottles of which we found was either too hard for him to open or too loose and leaked. He lives on his own so wanted to be able to take a drink in the middle of the night if he was thirsty.. when I tell you I could have cried with joy when I brought him this and showed him how it worked, it really was life changing for him. Such a wonderful product and something that not alot of people have never heard of. Amazing. Will continue to tell everyone about it hoping it will help someone else in need.

I am fully bed bound, which those of you with chronic illnesses and pain will tell you sucks. Even worse that the tables I have done fully go over my bed and even if they did, I would still have to lean to grab a drink from my usual water bottle but I could have a leg spasm and hurt myself on the table. Then I saw this bottle and as soon as it came it was washed out and filled and it's like my world went black and white to 4k colour. No longer do I have to hold on to bed bars and frames to lean to grab my bottle or if I'm in pain, not lean and be dehydrated. I don't have to worry about me knocking it off my table as it clips to my headboard. I don't have to fight my hand spasms to hold a bottle and flip a lid to get a drink, which to most would seem easy but to my hands even 100ml can be like 10kg. I barely need to move to get a drink, even when laid down or on my opposite side to my bottle. This is something that's just changed my life, it may be just a water bottle but to me it's 15% less pain, less hassle and 100% more hydration, less bladder and kidney pain and a percentage of my old life back where I had more independence. Yes it will leak as it's not 100% tight because of fitting the straw threw the top but it will only do so if you tipping it upside down or laying it down on its side which you don't need to do. A water bladder bag won't leak if you need to lay it down ect but for me with cats, it's not practical, the hydrant bottle is.

I made this purchase as a close relative was receiving pallative care in hospital, and was becoming increasingly weaker & immobile. After they finally lost the use of their arms/hands, we were in desperate need of something that would keep them hydrated and unfortunately the hospital did not have appropriate resources or funding to provide them. The Hydrant Drinking Bottle was recomended to us, and found it available at a very reasonable price with quick delivery through Amazon - We snapped it up! The mechanism on the drinking tube allowed the patient to control their own drinking, and whilst they had the strength they were able to use this as advised. The length of the tube and the side handle also allowed the bottle to be fitted to the hospital bed, with adequate length to stretch across. As basic functions deteriorated sadly we had to stop using this bottle, as they did not have the strength to bring the fluid through the long tube. But I would still highly recommend this to patients or relatives of those who are in need of extra help during hospital stays; or even at home if they struggle with daily tasks such as taking a drink from a cup. Even the nurses on the ward were impressed!

Bon produit et fabrication soignée.

Dieses Produkt ist in einer Plastiktüre verpackt. Diese enthält die durchsichtige Flasche, den Schlauch, ein Mundstück, den Schraubdeckel mit Klemmhalterung, eine Kleidungs-Klammer sowie eine Anwendungsanleitung in Englisch. Das Produkt wird in England hergestellt. Die Teile sind schnell zusammengesetzt und die Flasche ist nach einer empfohlenen ersten Reinigung sofort einsatzbereit. Sie hat ein Fassungsvermögen von bis zu einem Liter Flüssigkeit. Wenn die Flasche ganz oder zum Teil gefüllt ist, wird der Deckel fest aufgeschraubt. Der Schlauch wird mit dem einen Ende bis zum Boden der Flasche durch das Loch im Deckel eingeführt, auf das andere Ende wird das weiche Mundstück gesetzt. Ein kleines zusätzliches Loch im Deckel sorgt für den Luftausgleich. Die gefüllte Flasche kann nun z.B. mit der Halterung am Deckel am Bettrahmen oder Rollstuhl befestigt werden. Der Schlauch kann bei Bedarf auch mit der Kleider-Klemme am Kragen oder Knopfloch befestigt werden, damit der Kranke eigenständig die Möglichkeit hat, das Mundstück zu erreichen. Die Flasche muss nicht zwingend oberhalb des Kopfes hängen, auch neben oder unter dem Patienten lässt sich die Flüssigkeit bequem saugen. Der Kranke kann auch das obere Schlauchende neben seinem Kopf liegen lassen, ohne dass von alleine Flüssigkeit ausläuft. Möchte er trinken, nimmt er das Mundstück zwischen die Zähne, und beißt darauf, so dass sich der schmale Schlitz senkrecht öffnet. Nun kann er das Wasser oder Getränk ansaugen. Am Anfang muss etwas kräftiger gesaugt werden, damit der Schlauch erstmal gefüllt ist. Dann kann man Schlückchen weise saugen und schlucken. Es darf nie zu viel auf einmal angesaugt werden, sonst verschluckt sich der Patient. Durch dieses eigenständige Saugen ist gewährleistet, dass der Kranke oder Schwache sich selbsttätig auf Dauer mit Flüssigkeit versorgen kann. Die Vorteile von ausreichend Flüssigkeitszufuhr besonders im Alter oder bei Krankheit sind ausreichend bekannt, mit dieser Trinkflasche wird eine geniale Möglichkeit geschaffen, dass Menschen, die nicht mehr alleine ein Glas erreichen oder ansetzen können, wieder genügend trinken können, ohne ständig auf Unterstützung und Hilfe angewiesen zu sein. Ich bin sogar der Meinung, dass es bei dauerhafter Anwendung auch einer positiven Beschäftigung dient und gleichzeitig die Mundmuskulatur kräftigt. Das Produkt mit allen Zubehörteilen ist sauber gearbeitet. Ich habe keine Kanten, Grate oder sonstige Unregelmäßigkeiten festgestellt. Außerdem ist die Flasche bruchfest und fest verschließbar. Auch wenn sie mal herunterfällt, ist das kein Problem. Fazit: Ein geniales Teil, was Kranke und Hilflose Menschen in die Lage versetzt, immer ausreichend trinken zu können. Sollten Sie meine Rezension nicht als hilfreich betrachten, würde ich mich über einen kurzen Kommentar freuen.

Súper útil para encamados, lo compré para mi madre. Solo mueve una mano y es capaz de utilizarlo, así que contentas.

Cette gourde à une bonne contenance et pratique pour boire couché.

Ottimo prodotto, utilissimo e fatto bene. Mia suocera che è allettata e che ha problemi alle mani, riesce a prendere il tubo e a bere. Lo consiglio
