The Tongue Scraper MC-4 is designed with a soft ridged head that gently scrapes the surface of the tongue. The long handle and wide profile allows a good contact with the surface area which provides increased comfort to the patient. Patient groups who will benefit from the MC-4 are those in intensive care / critical care, stroke and other neurological patients, head and neck oncology patients, elderly mentally ill patients and those dependent on mouth care. The MC-4 is used to help prevent the risk factors associated with Ventilator associated pneumonia and other diseases. To ensure good mouth care is achieved, include MC-4 in all oral health care plans for vulnerable people.
