In speech therapy, the equipment goes in someone’s mouth. Chewy tools, oral vibrators, assessment spoons, tongue depressors: everything used in an oral motor session has to come back ready for the next client.
This section covers what’s needed for that, plus the protective equipment a professional working half a metre from someone’s face needs every day.
The sections
Soaking trays, liquids and gels
Immersion trays, disinfectant solutions and gels. The consumable behind daily equipment disinfection, and the busiest section in this branch.
Disinfectant wipes
Surface wipes for the plinth, the table and anything that can't be submerged. The quick option between clients.
Clear masks and face shields
Transparent masks and face shields. In speech therapy these aren't an accessory: if the therapist's mouth can't be seen, there's no articulatory model to copy.
Protection and safety
Latex, nitrile and vinyl gloves — including mint and flavoured versions used for intraoral work with children — protection kits and disinfectant mats.
What needs disinfecting, and how
Anything that goes in the mouth — chewy tools, Z-Vibe and tips, spoons, assessment dummies — is cleaned of residue first, then disinfected by immersion. A tray is what lets you do several pieces at once with controlled timing.
Anything that can't be submerged — motorised vibrators, electronics, surfaces — takes a wipe or applied gel, never a soak.
Porous items — soft toys, fabrics, tactile material — aren't disinfected, they're washed. And some items are simply single-user and shouldn't be shared at all.
Always check the manufacturer's instructions: some silicones are degraded by alcohol and lose their surface within weeks.
Who it's for
Speech and occupational therapy clinics, language support classrooms, early intervention services and day centres. If your work is orofacial myology, this section is a recurring consumable rather than a one-off purchase.
Frequently asked questions
Do you supply centres with an invoice?
Yes, with an invoice and a quote in advance. For recurring consumables we can set up periodic orders.
Can a chewy tool go in the dishwasher?
It depends on the material and the manufacturer. Many therapy silicones tolerate it, but repeated high temperatures shorten their life, and pieces with motors or bonded parts can't go in at all. The safe answer is to follow the product sheet.
