Great Product For Those With Weak or No Grip Strength

uAdapt · 03-20-2010, 06:16 PM

My friend & I started a company to help those who have weak grip or none at all to hold and drink beverages independently. With Spring & Summer upon us - we'll all need to stay hydrated to avoid overheating and other health issues. Our product is called the uDrink and it can fit around any type of bottle, cup or can you'd like to drink from. You can find out more information at our website: http://www.u-adapt.com

We are truly trying to help as many people as we can to be independent, so if you know of anyone with a disability that our product might help - please help us spread the word.

Feel free to post any questions.

That is a nice handle, now give me a way to remove the lid on the bottle in the product picture.

Hodge - I will use my teeth to remove lids from bottles, or for something like a vitamin water (in the picture you saw) I will have somebody loosen the lid and put it in my refrigerator. Then when I want to drink it, I'll grab it out of the fridge and the lid will be easy to get off with my teeth or hands (I have no grip strength). With things like beer or soda bottles, I get help to get the cap off, but then at least I'm independent while holding and drinking from the bottle.

Teeth. I'd have that off in 5 secs

Got it. Absolutely love it!!! The best use of this product so far was being able to wrap it around my wine glass and finally drink Merlot without a straw.

I use these to handle my telephones and other devices and for picking up a glass, can or beer bottle I just put it in this cup which eliminates having to attach something to each bottle or can.
