The Front Mounted Drinking System for UniTrack
The Front Mounted Drinking System for UniTrack was developed by Mealtime Partners to provide access to fluids for our customers who use wheelchairs that have UniTrack rails, who have a very limited range of head and trunk movement, and, who additionally have weak suction. The system consists of a heavy-duty Flex Arm that has a clamp for attaching to the slot in the UniTrack rail on one end and a cup holder on the other.

| Front Mounted Drinking System with a 30-Inch Flex Arm for UniTrack |
The drinking system is mounted on the UniTrack rails of a wheelchair using the Flex Arm Attachment Holder that is part of the drinking system. The Flex Arm is bent to position the cup holder, and the cup it contains, close enough to the user’s mouth that they can easily access the straw. Once bent, the Flex Arm shaft is very rigid and holds its position well.

The cup holder can accommodate a variety of cups and bottles (that are provided by the user). For example, it can accommodate insulated coffee mugs and other assorted cups and bottles. It can also accommodate a koozie to keep drinks cold. A flexible mounting arm allows custom positioning for each individual.
The Front Mounted Drinking System has several mounting options: Flex Arms come in 6 inch, 12 inch, 18 inch, 24 inch and 30 inch lengths, to accommodate different user heights and seating systems.
To select the most appropriate length Flex Arm for each individual, first choose on which of the wheelchair UniTrack rails the drinking system will be mounted and where along the UniTrack rail it will be clamped. Next, decide where the drinking cup should be placed to accommodate the individual’s drinking needs (head and neck positioning). Measure the distance between where the the Flex Arm Attachment Holder will be located and the cup position. Add 3 inches to this distance, to accommodate the bend in the Flex Arm to orient the cup correctly, and select the Flex Arm length that is closest (but longer) to that length. Any additional length can be absorbed by bending the Flex Arm more.

Because the cup is positioned in front of the user a short straw can be used with this system. This close proximity allows those who have poor suction to be able to drink from this system.
