An endoscopic bite block is a disposable oral device placed in a patient’s mouth during endoscopy to prevent accidental biting of the endoscope. It safeguards both the patient’s teeth and tongue while also protecting the scope from damage caused by natural biting reflexes during the procedure.
These devices are typically single-use and regulated as medical devices, with classification and supply rules varying by jurisdiction. They are designed for basic use and do not incorporate additional features like oxygen delivery, ensuring simplicity and compliance with procedural safety standards.
