LinguaGuard

After years of watching patients struggle to relax their tongues during dental treatments, Dr. Gressell invented LinguaGuard. LinguaGuard is an innovative add-on device that protects your tongue during treatment that requires suction, which allows your dental providers to perform procedures with maximum efficiency and comfort.

What Is LinguaGuard?

LinguaGuard is a disposable add-on device that allows Dr. Gressell to retract your tongue to keep it safe during suction by attaching the device to the vented end of a High Volume Evacuator straw.

What Are the Benefits of Using LingaGuard?

It can be challenging for dental providers to restrain a patient's tongue, which can limit their efficiency and  prolong treatment time. LinguaGuard helps retract your tongue safely without compromising your comfort.

• Innovatively designed to slide easily onto the tip of a high-volume evacuator (HVE)
• The unique wrap design ensures a tight fit around the HVE to provide strong support
• Created with a curved design for easy and comfortable retraction
• Innovative shape keeps suction off the patient's tissues
• Designed for single use
• Latex and BPA free

How Is It Used?

• The dentist rotates the HVE tip into the LinguaGuard sleeve. The vent hole must be appropriately aligned with the protruding tab to lock it in place.
• We curve the retractor away from the HVE tip.
• For removal, the dentists rotates it counterclockwise to remove it from the HVE tip vent hole.
• After use, it must be disposed of in a clinical waste container to avoid transmission of pathogens.
