Bringing inclusivity to the party
Sl? Drinks are effective and provide a great-tasting solution for dysphagia care planning. You can confidently recommend our pre-measured thickening sachets to meet the unique needs and tastes of every patient, ensuring a truly personalised care plan, whatever the season.
Our thickeners make it easy to control the consistency of all favourite alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and make them to IDDSI Levels 1-3 to ensure a safe and enjoyable drinking experience, every time.
Making them is easy – patients and carers simply open a sachet, mix it with their favourite tipple to confidently toast the season with a drink that flows sl?, tailored to their exact needs.
Sharing a drink with loved ones is a priceless gift that extends far beyond the festive season and we are very happy that we can be part of making that a reality.
Merry Christmas
