Nuk Cleft Palate Teat with Screw Ring

Nuk Cleft Palate Teat with Screw Ring

Indications

The NUK Cleft Palate Teat has been developed as a suction auxiliary for unilateral cleft (one side) but can also be used, in exceptional cases, for bilateral clefts (two sides).

Properties

Dome-shaped latex teat to cover the outer area of ​​the fissure, preventing air from entering. It is based on the specific anatomical structure of the upper jaw of infants with fissures in their lip or palate. Its shape and function have been adapted to the NUK teat so it does not look like a prosthetic device. By covering the external fissure, the buccal cavity is closed, allowing the creation of intra-oral vacuum. Thread ring compatible with all standard size baby bottles. Not compatible with NUK First Choice feeding bottles. Size 1, medium size (for milks).

Results

Improves the suction of babies with cleft palate.

Instructions for use

The orifice of the teat should be done manually for each child, and under medical supervision, according to the position of the cleft in the child's palate. Before each use, check that the teat has tears, traces of nibbles or wear (sticky, dilated, torn) and in the presence of these, replace the nipple since parts that can be swallowed can be taken off.
