  • Saliva management system
    Patent number: 10251734
    Abstract: The saliva management system is a device that can be worn at night while sleeping to help alleviate dry mouth syndrome. The device utilizes a wind-up timer to periodically release a burst of water mist directly into the mouth, under the tongue. The water comes from a reservoir located within the housing of the saliva management system. The device comprises teeth clips and a strap to hold it in place. A built-in, finger-operated pump pressurizes the water to force it out of the reservoir via misting nozzles. A valve release is included to allow easier draining and cleaning of the device.
