Product Description
What this is and who it is for
Medline treated suction toothbrushes are single‑use oral‑care brushes designed for patient care settings and caregiver‑assisted oral hygiene. They are intended for use where oral suction and immediate removal of fluids/debris are needed during cleansing (for example, hospital, long‑term care, and bedside oral care).

- Manufacturer and model: Medline Treated Suction Toothbrush, MDS096575.
- Pack configuration: case of 100 individually wrapped toothbrushes (100/CS).
- Head: treated foam pad on one side and super‑soft nylon bristles on the other; foam is shown as green in product photographs.
- Valve: Control‑Vac forward‑placed valve/adapter at the proximal end of the wand as documented by the manufacturer and distributors.
What is included
- Each individually wrapped kit contains one treated suction toothbrush (single‑use). The case contains 100 individually wrapped brushes.
- No additional accessories (suction tubing, collection canisters, or mouth rinse) are included unless listed by the seller — check the seller listing before purchase.
Condition and packaging
- Product is sold as a factory-packed case (100/CS) and distributed new. Images on manufacturer/distributor pages and product photographs show individually sealed single brushes inside the case packaging.
Usage notes
- The Control‑Vac forward valve is intended to reduce spray‑back during suctioning; follow facility procedures for connection to suction and disposal after single use.
- These brushes are single‑use disposables and should be discarded after patient use.
Limitations and safety
- Intended for oral hygiene only; not a replacement for clinical airway suctioning equipment. The HCPCS guidance classifies suction toothbrushes as oral hygiene items (non‑covered by Medicare DME benefit under code A9270) — consult billing policy if required.
- Distributors list the product as containing latex; review organisation allergy policies before use.
Unknowns and buyer warnings
- Manufacturer literature and distributor pages document the design and case count but do not publish exact head dimensions or the active treatment chemistry of the 'treated' foam on public product pages. Buyers requiring precise chemistry, expiry/storage conditions, or dimensional specs should request the manufacturer's technical datasheet before purchase.
