Seizure bite block

Seizure bite blocks are single-use oral devices designed to protect a patient’s teeth, lips, tongue, and inner cheek during convulsions or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). They prevent self-inflicted injury by keeping the jaw open while allowing airflow and safe passage for vomit, ensuring patient safety during medical procedures or seizures.

These devices are typically non-sterile and intended for one-time use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, but they are generally classified based on their risk profile and clinical purpose, with compliance requirements tied to safety, labeling, and manufacturing standards. Availability depends on local medical practices and regulatory approvals for specific use cases.
