Plak-Vac Suction Toothbrushes

For patients who can't safely rinse and spit — those who are bedridden, intubated, sedated, or living with dysphagia — routine oral care carries a real risk of aspiration. Plak-Vac suction toothbrushes solve that problem by combining a soft-bristle brush with a built-in suction channel, so debris, fluid, and secretions are removed at the source rather than left to pool in the mouth or run toward the airway.

The Plak-Vac Suction Toothbrush (2200B) is an adult brush with soft bristles and a pink handle designed to connect directly to standard wall or portable suction. As you brush, loosened plaque and oral fluids are continuously drawn away through the handle, keeping the mouth clearer and the procedure more comfortable for the patient. It's reusable, making it a practical choice for ongoing care rather than a single-use item.

Caregivers and nursing staff typically ask three things about these brushes: Are the bristles gentle enough for fragile tissue? Yes — the soft bristles are intended for daily use on sensitive or compromised gums. Does it work with existing suction equipment? It attaches to standard suction tubing found in most facilities and home setups. And can it be reused? The 2200B is built for repeated use with proper cleaning between sessions, so it fits into a regular oral hygiene routine for long-term patients.

Suction oral care is a core part of aspiration prevention in hospitals, long-term care, and hospice settings, and pairs naturally with the rest of a suction workflow. If you're building out oral and airway care supplies, browse related suction options such as Medi-Vac canisters and tubing, portable units in the Easy Go Vac range, and emergency aspirators from Res-Q-Vac.
