A dropped mug that shatters is a hazard as well as a loss of confidence. This one is moulded in polycarbonate, so it takes a fall onto a hard floor and keeps going, which makes it a sensible choice for clients with tremor, reduced grip or unpredictable hand control.
The body is clear, so a carer can see how much has been taken without lifting the lid, and the large handle gives a weak hand something substantial to hook through. Two lids come with it: a spouted lid for controlled sips and a recessed lid that limits splashing when the mug is carried or knocked.
It goes in the dishwasher and takes hot drinks and microwave reheating, so it fits into normal household routines and does not sit apart as special equipment.
