Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The document describes the Apnea Guard, a device designed to aid in oral appliance therapy by advancing the mandible. It offers a systematic approach to select the optimal advancement setting, accommodating a full range of arch widths with three vertical sizes. The device can be fitted by any trained healthcare professional and avoids components that can be swallowed, lost, or dropped.
Specifications: The device advances at 1mm increments across the full range of protrusion settings and can be used for up to 29 nights. It uses the same silicone retention material as dentists for taking impressions.
Procedures: The document outlines a step-by-step procedure for preparing and fitting the Apnea Guard. Key steps include mixing base and catalyst materials, preparing the trays, instructing the patient to bite firmly, and setting the device to the optimal 70% setting. The process involves ensuring the patient protrudes their lower jaw forward and relaxes into a neutral position.
Recommendations: The Apnea Guard should be rinsed regularly and discontinued after 29 days of use. Comprehensive training videos are available online to assist healthcare professionals in fitting the device.
Patents: The device is protected by U.S. Patents 8684006, 5829441, 6374824, with additional U.S. and international patents pending.
