About INNO-AGE

      With the beginning, the geriatric nurse at Maharaj Nakorn Chiang Mai Hospital came to ask for advice on how to brush teeth for older patients who are hospitalized. Most older patients could not sit up right to brush their teeth. The nurse, therefore, had to brush the patient’s teeth in a lying position. The nurse was afraid of the possibility of choking on toothpaste and water while brushing the patient’s teeth. This is the origin of the research and development for suction toothbrush and new innovative toothfoam program. for the dependent older or bedridden patients in 2018.

​

     The research team searched for information and reports from around the world and reviewed all reported and publications. The team had traveled to Japan to study the oral care for the dependent and hospitalized patients. The team then brainstormed, developed and designed a toothbrush with a liquid drainage hidden inside the handle. There is a thread at the end of the handle to allow it to connect to the suction system on the hospital ward. The suction toothbrush has a mechanism that controls the suction power while brushing teeth, nurses can suck liquid out of the patient's mouth as soon as needed

​

     When the design is finished, a prototyped was developed and tested for strength, durable, applicable, etc. The research team improved all the weaknesses until a suction toothbrush works effectively.

​

     Our suction toothbrush is an innovative product especially designed for the dependent older people. Therefore, the brand was named Inno-Age. The suction toothbrush was registered as a medical device. from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Ministry of Public Health, Thailand.
