The MC3 was designed to be easy for carers and healthcare workers to use on individuals needing help to ensure they maintain good oral health. It can have a significant effect on oral health and therefore overall health of individuals, especially those in long-term residential care.

The Importance of Oral Health for Vulnerable Residents

Poor Oral health quickly impacts overall health. Bits of food stuck in the mouth and between teeth are breeding grounds for bacteria and can lead quickly to infections, inflammation and discomfort if left. This in turn can stop people from wanting to eat, because of the pain it can cause and therefore health may continue to decline.

The unique design of the MC3 Oral Cleansing Stick

The MC3 Mouth Cleanser is designed to be single use, the head is cone shaped and rounded with fined filaments to get into gaps. The cleansing stick can then be gently rotated to brush away loose food as well as plaque and tartar from teeth.

The rubber filaments are designed to cause less irritation than traditional toothbrush bristles and as well as collecting food debris can collect oral mucus at the same time. During a oral cleaning session the cleanser’s brush head can be rinsed as needed, so that one disposable cleaner is often enough for one cleaning, though the pack includes 25 oral cleansing sticks.

The MC3 is a class 1 Medical Device and is used in hospitals, care and nursing homes, and hospices as well as being taken out by community health visitors and social services so they can help individuals immediately when they find an issue, without having to wait to refer them to a dentist or hospital.
