Novo Cup

Novo Cup

The Novo Cup is an adapted drinking aid created for people who want greater control and independence when drinking from a lying or reclined position. It is particularly useful for anyone with restricted movement in the head or neck who may otherwise need to be propped up with pillows or assisted by a carer before taking a drink.

Its spill-resistant design, controlled flow and 250ml capacity make it suitable for everyday hydration in bed, while the transparent body and measurement markings allow the amount of liquid inside to be seen clearly.

Drink While Lying Down

One of the main advantages of the Novo Cup is the ability to drink comfortably without having to sit fully upright.

For somebody who has difficulty raising or turning their head, a conventional mug or beaker can be awkward to use. The Novo Cup has been developed specifically to make drinking possible from a lying position.

This can be beneficial for people who:

• Spend extended periods in bed
• Have limited neck movement
• Find sitting upright uncomfortable
• Cannot easily tilt their head backwards
• Want to drink with less assistance
• Need an adapted cup for bedside use

Control the Flow Yourself

The user remains in control of how quickly the drink is taken.

This is particularly valuable when greater care is needed with the pace of drinking, as it allows the individual to manage each sip according to their own preference.

Greater control can also make drinking feel less dependent on another person holding or tipping a cup.

Reduced Reliance on Carers

For some users, having a drink can involve waiting for somebody else to help them sit upright or position a conventional cup.

The Novo Cup is intended to reduce that dependence.

Where the user is able to operate the cup independently, they can take a drink without first needing to be supported by cushions or physically assisted into a different position.

This can make everyday hydration more convenient, especially during the night or when spending long periods in bed.

Spill-Proof When Tipped Over

The Novo Cup is designed to resist spilling if it is accidentally knocked or tipped over.

This feature is particularly valuable for bedside use, where an ordinary open cup could easily spill onto sheets, clothing or the mattress.

Reducing accidental spills can mean:

• Less wet bedding
• Fewer unnecessary linen changes
• Less cleaning after dropped drinks
• Greater confidence keeping a drink close to the bed

This can benefit both the person using the cup and anyone assisting with their care.

Suitable for Hot and Cold Drinks

The cup can accommodate both hot and cold liquids.

This makes it useful throughout the day for a variety of suitable drinks rather than limiting it to water alone.

Care should always be taken with the temperature of hot liquids, particularly for users with reduced sensation or difficulty reacting quickly to heat.

See How Much Is Left

The body of the Novo Cup is transparent.

Being able to see the contents at a glance makes it easier to check whether the cup needs refilling and can also help carers monitor approximately how much has been consumed.

This visibility is especially useful when regular fluid intake is being encouraged.

Measurement Markings

Graduated markings are included on the cup.

These provide a convenient reference when measuring the amount of liquid added or checking how much remains.

Such markings can be helpful where fluid intake needs to be recorded or where drinks are prepared in specific quantities.

250ml Capacity

The Novo Cup holds up to 250ml of liquid.

This provides a useful everyday serving size while keeping the cup manageable for bedside drinking.

The capacity is large enough for regular refreshments without creating an unnecessarily bulky drinking vessel.

Microwave Safe

The Novo Cup is suitable for microwave use.

This can be convenient when preparing or reheating an appropriate drink without having to transfer the liquid into another container first.

Users should always follow appropriate precautions when heating liquids and check the temperature carefully before drinking.

Dishwasher Safe for Routine Cleaning

Keeping an adapted drinking cup clean is particularly important when it is used frequently.

The Novo Cup can be placed in a dishwasher, making routine cleaning simpler and reducing the amount of hand washing required.

This practicality can be especially useful in households or care settings where the cup is used several times throughout the day.

Suitable for Autoclave Cleaning

In addition to being dishwasher safe, the Novo Cup is autoclave safe.

This makes it suitable for environments where a higher level of cleaning or sterilisation may be required.

The ability to withstand this type of processing adds to its versatility as both a home-care and professional-care drinking aid.
