In modern medical care, oral care is not only an important part of maintaining basic hygiene for patients, but also one of the key measures to prevent a variety of infectious diseases. Especially in the ICU, long-term bedridden or unconscious patients, due to the weakening or loss of swallowing reflex, secretions and bacterial biofilms are easily accumulated in the oropharynx, which in turn causes serious complications such as ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) and aspiration pneumonia. In response to this clinical need, the medical device suction toothbrush came into being, and with its unique functional design, it provides great help to people with special needs.1. Effectively prevent the occurrence of VAP and aspiration pneumoniaStudies have shown that the oropharynx is the main portal for pathogenic microorganisms to enter the lower respiratory tract. The medical device suction toothbrush can effectively remove bacterial biofilms, sputum and residual liquid in the mouth through its built-in flushing and negative pressure suction system, thereby significantly reducing the incidence of VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia) and aspiration pneumonia. Especially suitable for patients with endotracheal intubation, ventilators or nasogastric feeding, this type of toothbrush can complete deep cleaning without irritating the patient's throat, reduce the risk of cross infection, and improve the quality of care.2. Designed for special groups, more user-friendly operationThis type of toothbrush is mainly for patients with limited mobility, difficulty swallowing, confusion or long-term bedridden, such as patients with Alzheimer's disease, patients with sequelae of stroke, patients in the postoperative recovery period, and patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Traditional oral care methods often require multi-person collaboration and complicated operations, while the design of the suction toothbrush enables one-handed operation, greatly improving the efficiency of care. Its handle conforms to the principles of ergonomics and is equipped with a negative pressure adjustment hole, which fits naturally with the user's thumb, making it easy to control the suction force at any time to avoid damage to the oral mucosa.3. Scientific structure, cleaning and efficientThe medical device suction toothbrush uses a medical-grade silicone brush head with soft and delicate bristles and a large contact area. It can penetrate into the gaps between teeth and the grooves on the tongue while gently rubbing to achieve thorough cleaning. There are multiple suction ports inside the brush head, and the double liquid outlet design can ensure that the cleaning liquid is discharged evenly, and the waste liquid can be quickly and effectively sucked into the liquid reservoir to prevent blockage and backflow. This integrated operation mode of "rinsing + suction" not only improves the cleaning efficiency, but also reduces the environmental pollution caused by liquid splashing during the care process.4. Built-in liquid reservoir, convenient and safe to useCompared with traditional oral care equipment, a major innovation of the suction toothbrush is its built-in liquid reservoir design. Caregivers do not need to prepare additional rinse bottles, just press the handle to release the right amount of cleaning liquid, and realize the function of brushing and rinsing. At the same time, the liquid reservoir has a moderate capacity, which can meet the needs of single use, and with the characteristics of disposable use, it effectively eliminates the risk of cross infection. In addition, the entire device is not dependent on power supply and can work without plugging in. It is suitable for various medical environments, including mobile rescue and field rescue scenarios.5. Wide range of applications to meet diverse clinical needsThis product is widely used in various medical institutions, such as general hospitals, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes and home care scenarios. Whether it is used for daily oral cleaning or as part of preoperative preparation, postoperative care, and hospice care, the medical device suction toothbrush can play an important role. Its one-time use characteristics also meet the current high standards of the medical industry for infection control management, and help to establish a standardized and efficient nursing process.6. Help nursing staff and reduce the workloadIn the context of tight nursing human resources, the emergence of the medical device suction toothbrush has greatly reduced the workload of medical staff. It is easy to operate, time-saving, and effective, allowing a nurse to complete the oral care tasks of multiple patients in a short time, improving work efficiency while also helping to improve the overall comfort and satisfaction of patients.The medical device suction toothbrush is not only an innovation in oral care tools, but also the result of the deep integration of modern medicine and engineering technology. With its scientific design, humanized operation and excellent clinical performance, it brings a safer, more efficient and comfortable nursing experience to people with special needs.
