Overview

Zip-N-Squeeze products are designed for patients who cannot easily eat or drink.

Patients requiring a liquid diet or with oral dysfunction encounter a variety of challenges to proper hydration and nutrition. Whether due to maxillofacial trauma, surgery, muscle weakness or congenital disorders, many patients cannot use cups, utensils and straws. The result: poor hydration and nutrition, and worse outcomes.

For children and adults, the Zip-N-Squeeze pouches were created to allow the patient to easily consume liquid diets with minimal difficulty. The pouches have a straw attached to a ziplocked pouch that stands when filled, and is consumed by simply squeezing the pouch. No Sucking Required!!!

Alternatively, the most common method to offer liquid nutrition to these patients is with a syringe and catheter. The patient uses the syringe to "suck-up" the liquid and then squirt the contents to the back of the mouth. This method is difficult and awkward requiring two hands to control the pressure applied and the catheter can easily spill the liquid and cannot accomadate more than the smallest amounts.

Zip-N-Squeeze pouches come in two styles: Liquid and Pureed Food. The Liquid pouch has a thinner tube and is used for liquids, strained soups and supplements. The Pureed Food bags have a thicker straw and can be used for blended shakes and foods.

Zip-N-Squeeze pouches are offered in packs of 2 liquid and 2 food pouches, and includes a care guide, and some basic recipes.

The Zip-N-Squeeze Healing Jaw Guide and Cookbook is a more detailed guide to oral and post-surgical care for patients and includes an extensive collection of liquid diet recipes, supplements, and helpful hints. Includes information on how to blend ingredients for delicious and nutritious meals. The Recipes are all easy to make and designed for a "Real-Taste".

The Zip-N-Squeeze Soft-Sipp bottle is a lead-proof squeezable feeding bottle with an extended feeding tube for helping infants and toddlers. The ultra soft tip elongated tip that can be inserted into the back of the mouth for improved feeding, swallowing and nutrition. The design significantly reduces the risk to sutures of the face and mouth. Successfully feeding your baby improves their health and mood, and hopefully yours too. The bottle is latex free, easy to clean, and has an anti-refulx valve to control the flow rate and prevent flooding.
