A micron-sized mist dental cleaning device includes a console that generates pressurized air and pressurized water. The console is connected to a mouth guard that is in the form of an outer ridge and an inner ridge with a space between them for a patient's teeth. The mouth guard includes a receiver for receiving the pressurized air and water and has tubes for dispensing the pressurized air and pressurized water along the outer ridge and the inner ridge, respectively. The mouth guard also includes openings along the inner side of the outer ridge and the outer side of the inner ridge that face the location of the patient's teeth when the mouth guard is installed in the patient's mouth. The tubes for the pressurized air and water intersect at an angle at each opening so that they are used to eject micron-sized mist from the openings toward the user's teeth to provide initial plaque removal.

The present invention is a micro probe for plaque removal. In particular, the present invention is directed to a micro probe having a needle tip, an opening and perimeter openings for plaque removal. The micro probe is attached to a guide wire in a catheter and the catheter is attached to a pump. The needle tip is at the first end and the second end is attached to the guide wire and is insertable and retractable into the catheter. Each perimeter opening has a sharp edge and a blunt opposite edge and the micro probe can be rotated by the guide wire. The opening can also contain a dry ice pellet that can be impelled by the pump, or the pump can impel a solution through the catheter to the micro probe and aspirate the solution from the opening of the microprobe.

This disclosure provides a toothbrush head and a toothbrush with improved toothbrush bristle configuration comprising different types of bristle filaments in a specified arrangement. Disclosed are toothbrush heads comprising first tufts (5) comprising first bristles (6) and second tufts (7) comprising second bristles (8), wherein the second tufts (7) are positioned outermost closest to the distal end (3A) and outermost closest to the proximal end (3B) on the bristle surface (3), and / or outermost closest to the widthways opposite ends (3C, 3D) on the bristle surface (3), and wherein the second bristles (8) have a stem (19) that splits into split ends (21), and wherein the split ends (21) are chemically tapered. Also provided are toothbrushes comprising said toothbrush heads. The toothbrushes achieve excellent brushing performance, plaque removal from the gingival and subgingival margin and reach into the interproximal spaces. There are also disclosed methods of manufacturing these toothbrushes.

The plaque removing device comprises a sheathing canal and a tool bit assembly arranged at the far end of the sheathing canal, the tool bit assembly comprises a tool bit, a claw sleeve and a sleeve, the tool bit is assembled on the claw sleeve, and the tool bit and the claw sleeve are sleeved with the sleeve; the tool bit comprises a tool base, a center base arranged at the far end of the tool base and a cutting edge, the center base and the tool base are coaxially arranged, and the cutting edge is arranged on one side of the center base and can be unfolded or folded relative to the center base. According to the plaque removing device, the cutting edge of the tool bit can be unfolded or folded according to the working state, and particularly when the tool bit penetrates through a bent blood vessel part, the cutting edge can be folded so that the outer diameter of the cutting edge can be reduced, and the situation that the tool bit scratches the blood vessel wall in the moving process is avoided.

The invention discloses a coronary artery calcified plaque removing device capable of active rotary cutting and synchronous suction, and relates to the technical field of medical instruments.The coronary artery calcified plaque removing device comprises a machine body shell, an elastic pipe is fixedly connected to one end of the outer side of the machine body shell, and a drill bit is fixedly connected to one end of the elastic pipe; a transmission assembly and a cutter assembly are arranged between the drill bit and the transmission pipe fitting, a plurality of drainage key grooves are formed in the cutter assembly and formed in the outer side of the transmission pipe fitting, liquid is mixed with plaques cut down and smashed by the cutter assembly through rotation of the transmission pipe fitting, and the plaques form mixed liquid with good fluidity. The mixed liquid is good in flowability, the sewage pump pumps the mixed liquid through the first water guide piece, the multiple water guide holes and the suction pipe, due to the fact that the mixed liquid is good in flowability, the negative pressure needed for pumping the mixed liquid is low, it is guaranteed that plaques cleaned through cooperation of the cutter assembly and the drill bit are pumped out, and meanwhile blood vessel deformation caused by the negative pressure is avoided; and the possibility of injury of the cutter assembly to blood vessels is reduced.
