INTERSURGICAL has introduced a new product to its existing range of oral care products, to target the fight against Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (VAP).
Recent studies claim that it is possible to reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia by performing basic patient oral hygiene. The OroCare Select offers a flexible solution. It has been designed with a small atraumatic brush head and soft bristles for optimum care, even in challenging oropharyngeal situations. The new brush features on-the-tip suctioning and a comfortably located thumb hole to activate the suction process. The brush also allows the user to irrigate through the same system. The brush comes with an empty ampoule and filler tool, which allows the care provider to fill it with liquid. For users who prefer the use of toothpaste in their hospital protocol, the company can offer the optional OroFill Select Sterile Water ampoules, allowing the user to perform oral hygiene routines in a fast and convenient way with a single hand operation.
