Getting Jaw Surgery? DentaKit.com Has Cool Jaw Wraps, Squeeze Bottles, and Zip-N-Squeeze Bags!

Cool Jaw wraps help you recover from jaw surgery
If you're getting jaw surgery or other types of oral surgery, you need to make sure that you have the supplies you will need to stay healthy and comfortable. DentaKit.com is making it easy for you to get your most necessary supplies all on one place! We now carry Cool Jaw facial ice wraps in three colors, 32-ounce Mueller squeeze bottles, and Zip-N-Squeeze bags.

These supplies are vital for successful recovery from jaw surgery or facial surgery. The Cool Jaw facial wraps feature a split top that stays securely on your head and accommodates all lengths of hair. Two separate velcro straps ensure a secure fit. Each Cool Jaw wrap comes with 4 clear gel ice packs that stay cold on our face for up to an hour. Alternative, you can also buy the blue gel hot/cold packs, which remain flexible when frozen and stay frozen on your face for about a half hour.  The Cool Jaw face wraps are available in light blue, white, or black. (Black is recommended to hid blood stains the best).  Keep two ice packs in the freezer and two on your face, to ensure continuous cold therapy.

32-ounce Mueller Squeeze Bottle
Mueller Squeeze Bottles have been the gold standard for teams across the country for years. The beauty of this product is its soft flexible plastic, which enables you to squeeze almost every last drop of liquid from the bottle. There is no need to suck on the straw -- just squeeze the bottle and the liquid flows freely from the straw into your mouth. The harder you squeeze the bottle, the faster and more forcefully the liquid flows out of the straw.

We carry the 32-ounce Mueller squeeze bottle. It's a great way to ensure that you remain hydrated during those first painful days of recovery after your jaw surgery.

Zip-N-Squeeze Bags at DentaKit.com
Zip-n-Squeeze bags were unavailable for a period of time, but they are now being manufactured again and we have them! The bags come in two varieties: the Z-100 is for thin liquids, and the Z-200 are for thicker pureed foods. As the name implies, you fill the plastic pouch with liquid, zip up the top, and just squeeze on the bag to get the liquid flowing through the straw. 

Zip-N-Squeeze bags are reusable and easy to clean. The magic of Zip-N-Squeeze is that no inward sipping is required (after jaw surgery you are often told not to sip or suck on a straw). By using the clamp, you can regulate the flow of liquid -- just put more or less pressure on the clamp and the liquid flows freely by itself from the bag into your mouth -- no sipping or sucking required!

We sell the Zip-N-Squeeze bags in sets of five, so that you have enough to use during those difficult first days and weeks after your jaw surgery.

And in case you're wondering what you can "eat" after jaw surgery, the handy book "Dinner Through A Straw" contains pages of tips and recipes to keep your appetite satisfied!

All of these products are available at DentaKit.com with Expedited Shipping, which means that you will get your order within 3 business days.
