Sip-n-Puff Switches & Accessories

This versatile range of pneumatic switches offers a highly responsive solution for individuals with limited mobility, providing reliable control through simple air movements. Designed for both personal use and professional facilities like hospitals and rehabilitation centers, these switches can be activated by a gentle sip, puff, bite, or squeeze, making them an ideal alternative to traditional buttons or nurse call switches.

Whether used for medical assistance, environmental controls, or gaming, these systems are engineered for precision and ease of use. Advanced electronic modules can translate puff frequencies into signals, while pneumatic variations offer single or dual-function modes to manage multiple devices simultaneously. Many models feature adjustable sensitivity and smart battery management to ensure longevity and consistent performance.

Key Features

• Highly Responsive: Requires only a light sip or puff of air, similar to the pressure of inhaling or exhaling.
• Versatile Activation: Can be used as a bite switch, puff switch, or squeeze switch using various pneumatic activators.
• Multi-User Friendly: Disposable components and antimicrobial tubing eliminate the need for complex disinfection between clients.
• Flexible Compatibility: Available with industry-standard 1/8" (3.5mm) or 1/4" (6.35mm) mono jacks for connection to assistive technology, nurse call systems, and adapted devices.
• Latching Functionality: Options include latching switches that stay activated until toggled again, perfect for applications requiring held inputs like racing games or intercoms.

Technical Specifications & Compliance

• Anti-Contamination Filters: 1.2 µ HEPA rated to remove 99.9% of bacteria and viruses.
• Hydrophobic Protection: Integrated moisture blocks prevent saliva or breath moisture from entering the system.
• Safety Standards: Manufactured with silver-ion lined antimicrobial tubing and custom-made pneumatic components.
• Compact Design: Small footprint allows for easy mounting on bed rails, wheelchairs, or headsets.

For professional environments, these systems simplify staff training with easy-to-position tubing and quick-connect adapters. The inclusion of positionable stainless steel wiring ensures the interface remains exactly where the user needs it, providing a reliable and hygienic hands-free control solution.

Note: For hygienic reasons, sip-and-puff components are non-refundable. It is recommended to replace mouthpieces and tubing monthly or between different users to maintain safety standards.
