Nuk Cleft Lip Teat

155 EGP

  • Feeding newborns with a cleft lip or palate almost always presents its own problems: these babies find it very difficult, sometimes even impossible, to create the right type of vacuum to be able to suck.
  • This means that even breastfeeding, or bottle feeding with commercially available teats, is very difficult or often not possible at all.
  • For these children, NUK has developed special teats which are based on the specific anatomical structure of the upper jaw of babies with clefts in their lip or palate.
  • The NUK Cleft Lip Teat was developed as a sucking aid for unilateral (one-sided) clefts with an inserted palatal plate but it can also be used, in exceptional cases, for bilateral (two-sided) clefts with an inserted palatal plate. Its shape and function have been adapted to the NUK Teat and it does not look like a prosthetic device.
  • By covering the outer cleft, the mouth cavity can be closed completely, enabling an intraoral vacuum to be created.
