Pitha Oral Wedge silicone rubber

Clinical Application

Provides atraumatic intraoral separation and soft-tissue retraction to improve access and visualization during dental, oral-maxillofacial and ENT procedures. Common uses include protecting dentition and oral mucosa from instruments and bite trauma, maintaining a controlled mouth opening for access to the posterior oral cavity, and stabilizing soft tissues during suture placement, tooth extraction, or intraoral repairs. It can be used adjunctively with suction, retractors and surgical lighting to facilitate a clear operative field.

Design & Configuration

The wedge geometry uses a tapered profile to produce gradual separation when positioned between dental arches or soft tissues. The flexible silicone body conforms to anatomic contours and distributes occlusal pressure across a wider surface area, reducing point loading on teeth and mucosa. A non-abrasive, slightly tacky surface helps resist migration in the oral cavity while remaining atraumatic to soft tissues. The simple, low-profile shape permits placement in a range of intraoral locations and quick removal or repositioning as clinical needs change.

Instrument Specifications

• Instrument type: Oral wedge (intraoral wedge / bite block)
• Pattern / model: Pitha
• Configuration: Silicone rubber wedge, tapered profile for intraoral placement
• Typical surgical use: Soft-tissue retraction, maintenance of mouth opening and dentition protection during oral, maxillofacial and ENT procedures
• Material / construction: Medical-grade silicone rubber
• Reusable: Intended for reusable use following appropriate cleaning and sterilization

Material & Construction

Constructed from medical-grade silicone rubber selected for flexibility, resilience and an atraumatic contact surface. The non-porous silicone resists bodily fluids and can be cleaned using standard enzymatic detergents and disinfectants; follow facility protocols for sterilization and reprocessing prior to reuse. The elastic material provides controlled compression and recovery to conform to dental occlusion while minimizing tissue abrasion.

Quality & Compliance

Manufactured by FDA-registered OEM facilities and produced under strict quality control standards.

Brand Comparison

Comparable in form and function to equivalent instruments offered by major US medical suppliers.
