Hospitals
In a hospital setting the Hydrant delivers major benefits to patients and healthcare professionals:
Faster recovery times
Because the Hydrant gives patients access to fluids without help from nurses and doctors, hydration is easy and recovery is quicker.

Enhanced patient experience
In addition to recovering more quickly, the Hydrant provides dignity through independence, by allowing patients with limited mobility to drink without help.
90% positive patient response to increased drinking without assistance – Lister Hospital survey
Releasing time to care
Trying to keep patients hydrated on a hospital ward is incredibly time consuming. The Hydrant means patients can keep themselves hydrated, giving professionals much more time to care in other ways.

“Awesome product. I was in hospital for a spinal operation and really struggled to get a drink until I was given a Hydrant. What a great solution to a massive problem in the health system. They should be on every hospital bed!!”
