Specialized Care Molini Mouth Opener
Molini™ Mouth Opener
The Molini Mouth Opener used in conjunction with a proper head grip helps keep the mouth open, even for non-cooperating patients. The tapered end acts as a wedge to help guide the mouth open when teeth are clenched, and the trim design allows greater visibility of the oral environment. The handle of the Molini Mouth Opener has a bulbous end and a secure grip surface to prevent slipping. The mouth opener is a good option when patients are uncooperative, bedridden, or have poor muscle control.

Can the Molini Mouth Opener be autoclaved?
Yes, either by steam or chemical methods. It should be cleaned using an ultrasounds cleaner, or manually with a brush, mild detergent and water to remove organic matter prior to placing in the autoclave, at a maximum temperature of 285 degrees F.
Is the Molini Mouth Opener “technique dependent”?
The Molini Mouth Opener was developed in conjunction with a technique where the clinician simultaneously stabilizes the patient’s head and the Molini tool, as shown in the photo on the other side, with the appropriate points of support intra and extra orally. However, it can also be used for cheek/tongue retraction, or as a standard bite block.
What’s the difference between the Molini tool and your Open Wide® products?
The Molini tool is made from a hard plastic and has a tapered end for better insertion. It is ideal when the patient will not or cannot open the mouth.
