Short Description

Spink is a drink holder made with a shock resistant plastic shell. It has a strong lever powered suction cup to secure it to a smooth surface such as a desk or table. It holds most sizes of drink cans, water bottles, cups or mugs. The Spink protects the drink and it can't be easily knocked over. An opening in the side accommodates a handle.

More Details

* A clear piece of acrylic plastic fits around the outside of the Spink. This can be used to insert a name, slip in a photo or a drawing
* Colours are red, black or white
* Make sure the suction cup is clean before sticking it to a smooth, flat surface

Factors To Consider

* Using a Spink can prevent spills on desks and other surfaces
* It may prevent a drink from spilling on young children
* People with a tremor and/or incoordination may have difficulty locating a drink in the Spink as well as grasping the handle and lifting it out. It could however, act as a safe enclosure / barrier for a person who has difficulty locating and stabilising a drink on a flat surface
* Some people have problems eating or drinking. This is a serious health risk. Signs include difficulty swallowing and chewing foods, coughing when eating or drinking, or food getting stuck in or spilling from the mouth. If you are concerned, visit a speech pathologist or consult your GP
