Since 2000, IO SANO has been developing advanced solutions for the nutrition and hydration of patients with dysphagia , contributing to the transformation of dietary management from an empirical practice to a structured, safe and standardized clinical process.
IO SANO is not just a range of products, but an integrated dysphagia management model, designed to support healthcare facilities, nursing homes, and assistance services in preventing clinical risk and protecting the nutritional status of vulnerable individuals.
IO SANO system is based on coordinated elements:
• Foods with controlled consistency developed according to the IDDSI framework and verifiable rheometric parameters
• Nutritionally balanced and clinically appropriate formulations
• Proprietary automated system for preparing consistencies , which guarantees reproducibility and operational safety

IO SANO is also the official distributor of IDDSI funnels for Europe and an active partner of the IDDSI initiative , contributing to the dissemination of international standards for rheological and nutritional safety.
Innovation, care, and social responsibility guide our every decision , aiming to concretely improve the safety and quality of life of vulnerable people.
Conducted by the Institute of Food Sciences and Nutrition of the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart of Piacenza , the study compared the RistoSano with a traditional blended meal solution, taking anthropometric and blood measurements of a significant number of residents of a nursing home, fed the two different solutions, identical in menu and quantity.
The collected data were analyzed using the Student t-test (PROC GLM of SAS 9.2 statistical software). The statistical evaluation revealed that RistoSano solution improved the nutritional status of elderly subjects with dysphagy, expressed as both BMI and body weight.
