Abstract: Systems and devices for providing readily accessible and unassisted oral hydration to a patient or other individual. A hydration system of the present disclosure may include a container for holding a quantity of liquid, a hydration tube extending from the container, and a hydration control valve through which a user may access the liquid by pushing or pressing on a lever. The hydration control valve may be, or be similar to, a pinch valve or bite valve arranged across a tube, such that by opening the valve, water may be permitted to flow through the tube. The valve may be arranged within a valve casing having a hydration tube coupling portion and a mouthpiece.
