GRAND HAVEN, Mich.—Ascentcare Dental Products, a dental product development company, announces the issuance of US Patent 11,737,739 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Granted August 29, 2023, this patent covers several features of Ascentcare’s VacuLUX Isolation Mouthpiece.

Namely, the patent covers a feature unique to the VacuLUX mouthpiece: two set of flaps, wherein the front flaps are narrower than the rear flaps. Further claims of the patent cover a liquid rollover edge along the narrower front flap.

As fluids pass across the VacuLUX mouthpiece, they are captured and directed by the wider rear flap to be evacuated by the liquid rollover edge along the narrower front flap. This design also creates a chamber inside the mouthpiece for uninterrupted suction, as the front and rear flaps cannot collapse on each other.

This patented flap feature also addresses a further problem, specifically with other autoclavable isolation mouthpieces with difficult-to-access interior pockets, which are challenging to pre-clean and sterilize.

The VacuLUX Mouthpiece is universally compatible with the VacuLUX Isolation System as well as other isolation system brands.
