A bite block that protects the endoscope and patient's teeth during upper GI endoscopy.
A bite block is placed between the teeth to protect the endoscope and the patient's teeth during upper GI endoscopy. It holds the mouth open and carries the insertion tube. It is used in a routine gastroscopy, sedated or unsedated, in ERCP and other long upper GI procedures where it stays in for the whole case, and for a patient who bites down during a long procedure.
Yes. This bite block is latex free, so a latex-restricted patient is scoped with the same item.
No, it is not sterile. It is supplied non-sterile and is used on a single patient, with a shelf life of five years. A bite block does not enter the body; it sits between the teeth and carries the insertion tube.
An adult and a child size, and a version with a tongue plate for a difficult airway view. The band is textile or rubber, so the block does not shift once the patient is sedated.
