Device to make patients' mouths water trialled at GWH (and you can find out about it tonight!)
US firm Saliwell is testing its SaliPen massage device at the Great Western Hospital in Swindon. The device uses electric pulses to stimulate the salivary glands and is designed to help those suffering from Sjögren’s Syndrome. The condition affects around 0.6% of adults in the UK and causes dry mouth, itchy eyes, and dry skin. The SaliPen has a positive impact on patients quality of life, but it needs approval for use on the NHS.

A microchip placed in the mouth to improve the life of people that suffer from Xerostomia
SALIWELL, a joint European and Israeli research team, has developed two electronic devices that improve saliva production in patients suffering from Xerostomia. The devices, called GenNarino and SALIWELL Crown, stimulate the production of saliva through electronic stimulation. The GenNarino device can be easily placed and removed from the mouth, while the SALIWELL Crown is a permanently placed stimulating device attached to a dental implant. Both devices have a built-in microprocessor, power source, stimulation electrodes, and moisture sensor. The devices have been tested on patients in Berlin, Madrid, Naples, and Jerusalem, and have shown positive results. Xerostomia affects 10% of the Western population and can lead to dental problems and discomfort. The SALIWELL devices provide a cheap and effective remedy for Xerostomia sufferers.

Israeli project develops novel solution to dry mouth
Israeli company Saliwell has developed a removable device called the GenNarino that stimulates saliva production through electro-stimulation. The device applies a low energy level of electricity to the nerves associated with salivary glands, resulting in increased saliva secretion. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, is a chronic condition that affects 80 million people in the developed world. It is caused by a lack of lubrication in the mouth and is often a side effect of medication or radiation therapy. Saliwells solution offers a comfortable and side effect-free treatment for xerostomia, providing relief for those who suffer from the condition. The company is also developing the Saliwell Crown, a solution that can be attached to a regular permanent dental implant.
