The Unistraw Delivery System (UDS) is a patented straw-delivery system created by Unistraw International Limited in 1997, and released commercially in 2005. The UDS can add flavour, energy, vitamins, nutrition, and even pharmaceuticals - to liquid sipped through it.[1][2][3][4]
The Unistraw Delivery System (UDS)
The Unistraw Delivery System (UDS) consists of three parts: a transparent plastic straw; patented filters inserted and welded into both ends of the straw housing; and hundreds of small pellets, called UniBeads contained inside the straw housing. Either end of the straw is inserted into liquid. When the consumer sips through the straw, the liquid passes through the filters to dissolve the UniBeads inside, delivering the flavour or functional compounds contained within the UniBeads to the consumer.
