Our Dysphagia Products

Find the Right Texture for Patients with Dysphagia

Dysphagia can affect nutritional intake, hydration and confidence around eating and drinking.^1,2 Fresubin® dysphagia products* support texture-modified nutrition in line with assessed swallowing needs.

Supporting Safer Swallowing

Evidence links thickened textures to improved swallowing safety, oral intake, and nutritional status in dysphagia patients.^3-5

Tailor The Texture

Our drinks and cremes cover International Dysphagia Diet Standardisation Initiative (IDDSI) Levels 2,3 And 4, while powders allow patients to make precise, prescribed texture modifications.⁶

Nutritional Support for Diverse Conditions

As well as addressing the risk of malnutrition, you can offer safer swallowing options tailored to patients with diverse conditions that affect swallowing function.

Support Better Outcomes When Swallowing is Compromised

Difficulty swallowing can easily develop into a fear of eating, becoming a long-term barrier to proper nutrition. By offering the right support, you can help patients manage these symptoms, meet their intake requirements, and avoid the complications of malnutrition.^1,2

Across our ranges, you’ll find formats that adhere to the IDDSI framework, so you can confidently put forward a suitable option.^5,6

Fresubin provides texture-modified formulas at different consistency levels, so nutritional support can be adapted as a patient's swallowing function changes.

An Evidence-Based Approach

Clinical guidance recognises thickened fluids as part of dietary management for patients with dysphagia when matched to the appropriate consistency. Several studies have shown that in most adult patients with dysphagia, modified textures promote swallowing safety.^3-5

The effectiveness and benefits of thickened fluids have also been summarised by the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN)⁷ and the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT).⁸
