title: Oral cleansers.
abstract: Toothette Disposable Oral Swabs are oral cleansers intended for hospital and nursing home patients who cannot practice normal oral hygiene methods. The foam applicator contains sodium bicarbonate and is grooved to facilitate the removal of thick ropy saliva. The Toothette Single Use System is a kit that includes the Toothette Disposable Oral Swab, tubes of moisturizer and Prox-A-Mint solution, which is an oral débriding agent. The swab can be connected to a suction apparatus, allowing a safe and thorough oral cleaning, which is particularly useful in intubated and non-responsive patients.
