Clinically Proven To Help Patients Reduce the Incidence and Severity of Oral Mucositis
Oral Mucositis Relief for Chemotherapy Patients
Available only through a health care professional, this cryotherapy device has been specially designed to cool the mouth during and after chemotherapy.
The Chemo Mouthpiece is a unique, easy-to-use oral cryotherapy device that helps minimize the occurrence and severity of chemotherapy-related oral mucositis, including discomfort, sores, ulcers and blisters in the mouth, giving adult chemotherapy patients comfort and relief from the pain and inflammation associated with mucositis.
The oral mucosa is the mucous membrane lining or “skin” inside of the mouth, including cheeks and lips. People with oral mucosal diseases may develop painful mouth sores or ulcers on this lining.

Clinical Trial Shows Chemo Mouthpiece Effectiveness
A randomized, placebo-controlled, prospective, multi-center trial to assess the efficacy of the Chemo Mouthpiece cryotherapy device versus best supportive oral care in mitigating and easing the symptoms of chemotherapy-related oral mucositis revealed the following:
Chemo Mouthpiece (CMP) Significantly Reduced Pain
In the per protocol population of the clinical trial, 23.9% of patients reported any mucosal pain in the control arm vs. 12.8% in the CMP arm (p value < .001), representing a statistically significant 46% reduction in visits where patients reported any mucosal pain.
CMP Significantly Reduced Analgesic Use
The CMP arm resulted in a 68% reduction in the number of patients using opioids and/or other analgesics in the per protocol analysis, representing a 3x decrease vs. patients using pain medications in the control arm.

Review trial design and information.
The Science Behind the Chemo Mouthpiece
The Chemo Mouthpiece uses cryotherapy to alter the body’s condition. Applying near-freezing temperatures to the mouth tissues forces the blood vessels in those tissues to shrink, reducing circulation allowing less chemotherapy drugs to reach the mouth.
When placed in a standard freezer, the inner filtered water chamber freezes solid, while the chamber filled with the saline solution will not freeze solid. The frozen inner chamber allows the circulating proprietary saline solution in the outer chamber to stay very cold, which cools the patient’s entire oral cavity.
The Chemo Mouthpiece Effectively and Uniformly Cools the Oral Cavity.
The Chemo Mouthpiece reduced patients’ oral temperature by an average of 31.2 degrees F, while ice chips only reduce it by an average of 23.2 degrees F. It also cooled the oral cavity more uniformly.

Easy To Use at Home or the Clinic
The Chemo Mouthpiece Can Provide Treatment During and After Infusion.
Patients insert the mouthpiece into their mouths, placing their lips over the outer edge. Occasionally squeeze the insulated base to circulate cold water inside the mouthpiece. The integrated breathing tubes assist with normal breathing, and the mouthpiece will press comfortably against a patient's oral cavity surfaces.

Chemo Mouthpiece Patient Testimonials
“I wanted to write you to thank you so very much for sending me the chemo mouthpieces a few months ago. I have been using them during my weekly chemo sessions and I am happy to report that I have not had ONE instance of mouth sores since using the product.
Prior to receiving the product, I suffered constantly from horrific mouth sores and was given three or four different medications to use on a daily basis, none of which worked.”
– Deborah G, metastatic breast cancer patient
“I have been using the Chemo Mouthpiece for over 3 months (3 more months to go) and have had ZERO instances of mouth sores. I am taking 5FU and get infusions every two weeks.”
– Peter J, 5FU patient
“When I tried (the Chemo Mouthpiece) for the first time, I didn’t even get one mouth sore, and I was so happy.
For anyone going through chemo and is suffering with mouth sores, I would definitely recommend Chemo Mouthpiece. It helped me so much, it changed my life, it changed my perspective on chemo because I thought I couldn’t get through with having those mouth sores.”
