The Chemo Mouthpiece is intended to be used to cool the oral mucosa to reduce the incidence and severity of chemotherapy induced oral mucositis in adult patients.

The Chemo Mouthpiece is a device that reduces the temperature in the oral cavity to reduce the incidence and severity of oral mucositis (OM) associated with chemotherapy. The device is completely passive (e.g. there are no electrical components) and is designed to manually circulate saline solution and purified water inside a mouthpiece worn by the patient. The Chemo Mouthpiece (CMP) is designed with an inner chamber, an outer chamber, and breathing tubes. Prior to use the device is placed inside a standard freezer for a minimum of 6 hours, which freezes the water solid in the inner chamber, while the saline solution chamber in the outer chamber becomes cold but remains in liquid form. The device is then retrieved from the freezer and placed by the user in the oral cavity per the instructions for use. Cryotherapy is maintained continuously as the user squeezes the device to circulate the cold saline solution around the in the device. Breathing tubes that run throughout the length of the device facilitate breathing during device use.

The Cooral Device is intended to cool the oral mucosa during chemotherapy treatments to reduce the likelihood and severity of chemotherapy induced Oral Mucositis in adult patients.

The Cooral System is an intraoral mouthpiece that cools the oral mucosa using a water coolant which circulates internally through the mouthpiece for patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment to reduce the likelihood and severity of oral mucositis. Oral mucositis is one of the most common, debilitating complications of cancer treatment. The device consists of an energy control unit with a computerized control system to which an intraoral mouthpiece is connected via plastic tubing. Liquid coolant (sterile water) is circulated from the tank through the plastic tubes of the intraoral mouthpiece and is designed to specifically cool the areas where the major arteries enter the oral cavity. The cooling is initiated 30 minutes prior to start of chemotherapy infusion and continues 30 minutes after termination of the infusion time can vary between 15 min to 3 hours based on the half-life of the chemotherapeutics. The Cooral System pushes temperature-controlled coolant which results in heat exchange between the Cooral System, and the patient's oral mucosa. The coolant temperature is controlled by a thermostat and its temperature probe. The Cooral System maintains a controlled coolant temperature at 8°C during the entire treatment period. The device is intended to use is intended to reduce the severity and likelihood of oral mucositis in patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. The device is a system made out of different components. The device consists of three components: - 1) Computerized Control System (ECU 200 refrigeration and control unit) - 2) Plastic tubing connecting the ECU to the mouthpiece - 3) Intraoral Mouthpiece
