The WaterDrop Hydration System is a practical and dignified solution for people who find it difficult to hold or lift drinks. Designed to enable independent hydration, it allows the user to sip fluids through a soft bite valve without needing assistance.
This drinking aid can be securely hung from bed frames, wheelchair handles, wall hooks, or drip stands using its integrated hanging options. Once in place, users can take small, regular sips throughout the day without needing to wait for help.
Staying hydrated is especially important for disabled people and older people, as dehydration can lead to issues like urinary tract infections, dizziness, constipation, and fatigue. The WaterDrop promotes frequent hydration by keeping fluids within reach at all times.
Caregivers also benefit—by reducing the number of times they’re needed to assist with drinking, the WaterDrop lowers physical strain and interruptions while supporting the person’s independence.
This system is ideal for home use, care homes, and hospital environments. It’s particularly useful for people with reduced mobility, limited grip strength, or conditions such as cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, or multiple sclerosis.
Made from durable materials, the WaterDrop is a more cost-effective and sustainable alternative to disposable bottles or cups. It’s simple to clean, easy to refill, and designed for regular use.

The Water Drop is the latest in a range of hydration innovations from Hydrate for Health.
From the same company that brought you the Hydrant, Hydrate for Health have created a low-cost hydration solution that aims to keep those under medical care in hospitals, in care homes or family members with chronic illnesses hydrated and as healthy as possible.
The Water Drop works much-like an IV drip – providing the patient or family member with a constant, easily-accessible supply of water to drink orally.
Statistically, dehydration is one of the leading causes of prolonging a patient’s sickness, and it has been proven that if constant hydration is more readily available, many patients could recover far quicker.
The Water Drop has been designed to reduce if not eliminate unnecessary dehydration in patients or unwell family members, by offering an easy-to-use, accessible and versatile drinking aid for hospitals, care environments and at home.
Once the Water Drop has been filled with fluids it can be hung conveniently from a wide number of places, including drip stands, wall hooks, bed frames, wheelchair handles etc using either the hang point, metal hook or velcro strap. The water can then flow through the drinking tube and accessed when needed using the non-return bite valve to provide a controlled flow of fluids.
The NHS Supply Chain product code for the Water‑Drop Hydration System (also styled as “The Water‑Drop”) is listed as GTB1701 if you would like to order for the NHS please send a Purchase order.
