Richmond Dental & Medical's Soft BiteBlock™, a dense cylindrical cotton roll wrapped in silky yarn, is placed between the molars to help prevent patients from biting their tongue, breaking their teeth, or compressing the airway device during emergence. It is made in the USA with 100% medical-grade, purified cotton, making it absorbent, as well as providing a consistent size and bite compression. Richmond’s Soft BiteBlock™ is latex-free.
The Soft BiteBlock™ is available in three sizes including its original size (4” x 0.75”dia) and two new sizes (2.75” x 0.75”dia and 2.5 x 0.56”dia). Additionally, its packaging is compliant with Joint Commission recommendations for individually-wrapped supplies used in clinics and hospitals across the United States. Individual packaging helps to protect the product from contamination such as dirt, dust, allergens, and excessive moisture until time of use.
To mitigate risks associated with emergence when an airway device is used, Richmond Dental & Medical is first-to-market with a collection of patented soft bite block products that eliminate the need for DIY cotton rolls or tampons. Readily available to the practitioner, Richmond’s Soft BiteBlock™ is convenient and easy-to-dispense.
