ConMed Bite Blocks – Adult, Pediatric, and Standard Options (Latex-Free)

Description

The ConMed Bite Block series provides safe, comfortable, and reliable oral protection for patients undergoing upper GI endoscopy, EGD, ERCP, TEE, or other procedures requiring oral instrument access.

All models are latex-free, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. The soft yet durable materials help maintain patient comfort while ensuring a secure fit.
