Isolite Systems took the dental world by storm when it introduced the Isolite more than 15 years ago, later broadening its portfolio with the Isodry and Isovac. No longer would rubber dams and cotton rolls rule the day—for those seeking proper isolation and moisture control, along with better visibility and more comfortable patients, this new technology with continuous hands-free suctioning would be a game-changer.
But let’s face it. At the heart of all this technology is the mouthpiece, and its ability to create easy and effective isolation. Specifically designed and engineered around the anatomy and morphology of the mouth, Isolite’s mouthpieces are constructed out of a soft, flexible polymeric material that is comfortable and does not pinch the tissue. The sides protect the tissue from dental materials and unwanted tastes, as well as inadvertent trauma caused by movement of the tongue or cheek.
Isolite’s mouthpieces bring 3 key advantages in terms of safety:
- Tongue and cheek retraction and protection: The mouthpiece keeps the tongue out of the way, making it easier and safer for the dentist to work. It also retracts the cheeks and shields them from injury by the dentist's instruments. The patient's mouth is also retracted open by the integral bite block, allowing the dentist access to the oral field and the patient to relax their jaw.?
- Airway protection: The mouthpiece also acts as a barrier to the airway. By preventing accidental aspiration of foreign bodies, the mouthpiece further protects the patient's safety.?
- Airway visibility: The mouthpiece is transparent, which allows you to clearly see the airway. This allows you to continuously monitor patients more effectively, ensuring continued safety during procedures.
Isolite’s mouthpieces come in six sizes to accommodate any patient of any age. And don’t worry about cross-contamination. These are single-use only, providing effective compliance with infection control protocol. The mouthpieces are supplied in convenient operatory boxes. Each mouthpiece is individually packaged inside a polyethylene bag to ensure they are guaranteed clean, and each bag is color-coded for intuitive, more efficient stocking and pulling.
