Scald risk is a real concern for anyone with reduced oral sensation, a cognitive impairment or a delayed swallow. This version of the Sure Grip mug carries a lid that shifts colour from blue to pink once the contents rise above body temperature, giving a visual warning before the first sip.
The mug body is grooved so it can be held securely with a weak or unsteady grip, and the lid is simple enough for a client to fit and remove themselves. A straw can be used through the lid where that suits the drinking plan.
It is a practical choice for supported living and home care, where several people may be making drinks and a visual cue on the cup is more reliable than a note on the kitchen wall. Keep the lid out of direct sunlight.
