Developed in 2008, Drip Drop has been consistently tested and validated in extreme conditions unique to the armed services, emergency and relief personnel. Since 2010, Drip Drop has worked with international relief organizations to provide assistance to populations in Haiti, Pakistan, Japan, Philippines, South America and the horn of Africa, following natural disasters and famine. Drip Drop has also been used and distributed by U.S. Special Forces and Navy Seals following Hurricane Sandy in the United States.

"Testimonial from relief settings around the world confirms that Drip Drop is a force multiplier: not only does it prevent and treat dehydration of victims and personnel, but it also reduces the volume of water necessary to have in the field," said Dr. Eduardo Dolhun, Drip Drop's founder and Chief Medical Officer. "We are pleased to partner with Chinook Medical Gear and extend the benefits of great tasting Oral Rehydration Therapy to everyone who operates in challenging environments."

Drip Drop improves upon international Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) standards with a precise electrolyte ratio of salts, sugars and other ingredients to hydrate better and faster than anything else on the market. And unlike other oral rehydration solutions, which tend to taste salty, Drip Drop actually tastes good, insuring higher rates of compliance in the field. Chinook Medical Gear will sell Drip Drop in dry powder packets, making it both portable and easy to add to a canteen.

"Chinook is dedicated to providing best-in-class products for extreme conditions and emergency medical situations, and Drip Drop is a natural addition to our portfolio," said Jessica Denison, Chief Operating Officer of Chinook Medical Gear. "Dehydration significantly reduces physical performance, mental acuity and the ability to make decisions in training and on the battlefield, and is therefore a necessary component to everyone who works in extreme conditions."
