Description
Hydra+ Juice Thickened Apple IDDSI 3 for Dysphagia Management
Long-term care homes, hospital food services, rehabilitation clinics, and healthcare facilities across Canada use Hydra+ Thickened Apple Juice 1L IDDSI 3 for dysphagia management, stroke recovery programs, aspiration-risk resident hydration, texture-modified diet plans, and swallowing-disorder meal service. Available from ChickenPieces.com and ships Canada-wide from our Calgary warehouse.
For medical food professionals in Canada, consistent texture in modified-consistency diets matters for patient safety and clinical outcomes. Hydra+ Juice Thickened Apple IDDSI 3 simplifies this with a ready-to-serve solution that eliminates the variation you get from manual thickening methods. That consistency helps with accurate patient assessment and progression through dysphagia protocols. It lets healthcare teams focus on patient care instead of prep work. Check out our full medical food range for comprehensive dietary support at your facility.
Quality & Specifications
This product delivers a medical-grade, precise IDDSI Level 3 viscosity for safe oral fluid intake. It comes in a convenient 1-liter Tetra Pak format, with 12 units per case. The crisp apple flavour is designed for patient palatability and consistent fluid consumption. Each serving maintains uniform texture, essential for clinical reliability.
Clinical & Modified-Texture Applications
We see Hydra+ Juice Thickened Apple IDDSI 3 used most in post-stroke rehab for safe reintroduction of oral fluids. It's a staple in LTC beverage programs where residents with dysphagia need adequate hydration. Hospitals use it for general patient fluid intake, and home care settings rely on it for swallowing support where consistent thickened fluids are critical.

Unopened 1-liter Tetra Paks are shelf-stable for 12 months, so you can stock up without refrigeration. Keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 24-48 hours per the label to maintain quality and safety.
