Medasil Silicone Bite Guards are manufactured from silicone elastomer which is biocompatible, latex and phthalate-free, moulded to protect the teeth and other oral tissues from damage due to accidental impact and trauma during surgical procedures. The device contains Barium Sulphate (BaSO4) which may aid visibility under X-ray, is coloured blue for easy identification and is intended for single use only. 

 

Medasil Silicone Bite Guards are intended to be positioned over the teeth prior to, and during, induction of anaesthesia, intubation, endoscopy, or other surgical or diagnostic procedure involving oral access. They provide protection against accidental damage to loose teeth, dental features such as caps or crowns, or tissues of the buccopharyngeal area, that may result from unintentional or excessive contact with surgical instruments including laryngoscopes and endoscopes. The device is intended for short term use up to 29 days.
