Clean the Mouth Prop Before Use
The Open Wide Reusable Mouth Props are not sterile when packaged. Mouth Props should be cleaned using an ultrasonic cleaner or manually with a brush, a mild detergent and water, removing all organic or inorganic matter prior to placing in the autoclave. The Mouth props are autoclavable by either steam or chemical methods. Note that the maximum temperature is 285 degrees Fahrenheit. The saliva ejector is meant to demonstrate how it is used with the mouth prop, and is not autoclavable. Replace if you notice signs of wear or deterioration of the wedge.
About Size
The Open Wide® Re-Usable mouth prop comes in sizes small,medium and large. Our customers have told us that the mouth prop is most effective when the largest size that is comfortable is used.

Push it through the hole until it exists at the handle end of the prop. Connect to the suction device. Adjust the mouth end of the saliva ejector for desired placement.
