An apparatus for providing a pressurized water stream for cleaning gums and teeth. The embodiment includes a base unit defining a cavity. The cavity contains a pump, which may move pressurized water from a reservoir to a tip in fluid communication with the pump. A flow control knob may be turned to selectively adjust the water pressure supplied by the tip between a minimum and a maximum value. The reservoir may be removed from the base unit so that it may be filled with the fluid. The reservoir may support a container for storing tips or other items. Fluid may flow from the reservoir and ultimately into the tip to provide oral irrigation and/or cleaning of the teeth, gums, and tongue.

An integrated or combined oral care device having an oral cleaning device including a handle, and one or more cleaning head assemblies and a fluid irrigation assembly attached or attachable to the oral cleaning device.

A valve for adjusting the flow of water through an oral irrigation device is connected to a shower head by a flexible conduit. The valve is located on a handle connected to a water-dispensing pick for cleaning teeth and gums. An impeller-type pump is provided in the flexible conduit to pulsate the water.

The present invention relates to a multicomponent oral health care composition, comprising a source of a fluoride ion, a source of a calcium ion, a source of a phosphate ion, and stabilised chlorine dioxide, that can be used as a toothpaste, oral spray or a mouth wash/oral rinse formulation. The different components in the composition act synergistically together to clean the teeth and mucous membranes of an oral cavity of a subject, perfuming them or protecting them in order to keep them in good condition, change their appearance or correct unpleasant odours. They achieve this by inhibiting caries, promoting teeth remineralisation, and helping to alleviate dentine hypersensitivity, gingivitis and periodontal disease.

A method and device delivers a medicament to a selected tissue for treatment of the tissue, plaque and biofilm included. In the device, a first reservoir member is used to connect to a fluid source. Further, a second reservoir member engages the first reservoir member to define a chamber for receiving the medicament. Structurally, the second reservoir member includes an outlet. Attached to the outlet is a tube that extends to a nozzle. When connected, the first reservoir member, second reservoir member, and tube define a passageway from the fluid source to the nozzle. During use, a flow rate for a fluid is established through the passageway to deliver the medicament from the passageway through the nozzle to the selected tissue.

An oral irrigator has a removable reservoir defining a reservoir cavity, a base unit housing a motor and a pump, and a handle for directing fluid flow from the pump removably connected to the base unit and fluidly coupled to the pump by a hose. The handle has a housing defining a slot formed in an outer wall of the housing. The slot is bounded by two opposing walls spaced apart from each other anda transverse wall at a terminal interior end of the opposing walls. The outer wall of the housing is open to the slot at lateral sides of the two opposing walls and at a base end of the opposing walls opposite the transverse wall.

The invention discloses an oral cavity drainage apparatus. The oral cavity drainage apparatus comprises an airbag, a first inflation catheter communicating with the airbag, an endotracheal tube whichis arranged in the airbag in a penetrating mode, a water suction catheter which is arranged on the endotracheal tube in a sleeving mode, a drainage catheter with negative pressure, a sleeve bag used for being inserted into a trachea and a second inflation catheter communicating with the sleeve bag. The drainage catheter communicates with the water suction catheter, the sleeve bag is arrange on theendotracheal tube in a sleeving mode, and the sleeve bag is used for sealing between the trachea and the endotracheal tube after being inserted into the trachea and inflated. The air bag is used forsealing the trachea and an esophagus after being inserted into an oral cavity and inflated. The two ends of the endotracheal tube and the two ends of the water suction catheter separately extend out from the air bag, one end of the water suction catheter is located in the oral cavity, and the other end of the water suction catheter is located between the air bag and the sleeve bag. The invention further discloses an oral cavity irrigation drainage device which comprises an oral cavity irrigator and the oral cavity drainage apparatus. The oral cavity drainage apparatus can efficiently extract cleaning liquid and secretions, can effectively prevent the cleaning liquid from entering the trachea and the esophagus, and can prevent the secretions from entering the trachea, and higher safety is achieved.

A portable oral irrigation device includes a generally tubular-shaped liquid-holding reservoir suitable for being held in a hand, a nozzle coupled to the reservoir the nozzle having a generally arcuate conical shape along a length of the nozzle and being tapered toward an outlet thereof and a pressurizer coupled to the reservoir, the pressurizer operable for creating a positive pressure inside the reservoir.

The invention discloses an oral irrigator for oral care. The oral irrigator comprises a fixing rack, a flushing rod and a flushing head, wherein the flushing rod is mounted on the fixing rack; the flushing head is arranged at the upper end of the flushing rod and fixed with the flushing rod; the fixing rack comprises a rack body and a water inlet valve; the water inlet valve is arranged on the rack and fixed with the rack; the flushing rod comprises a rod body, a filter plate and a piston head; the rod body is hollow; the filter plate is arranged at a hollow part of the rod body; the piston rod is arranged at the lower end of the rod body; the flushing head comprises a flushing head body and a connecting seat; the connecting seat is arranged at the lower end of the flushing head body and integrally molded with the flushing head body. According to the oral irrigator, the motor device is replaced with a pressure produced by water delivery of the water pipe, so that the oral irrigator cannormally work; moreover, the filter plate is arranged in the rod body, so that water for oral irrigation can be filtered, and the oral cleaning effect is improved. In addition, the oral irrigator issimple in structure and capable of flexibly replacing the flushing head and has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, energy-saving and excellent in filtering effect and gum cleaning effect.
