Germ Study

SISU™ Mouth Guards Prevent Germ Transfer 

Congratulations to Viggy Parr, author of the Mouth Guard Germ Study, who qualified to travel to Los Angeles to compete in the International Science Fair.

A recent study shows SISU mouth guards prevent germ transfer

In addition, the following SISU advantages were noted:

  • Non-compressible – minimal deform
  • Distributes forces over larger area
  • 30% better protection
  • Ultra thin (1.6mm) – comfortable
  • Players can easily drink and talk
  • Custom fit in minutes
  • Superior hygiene – players keep guards in, resulting in no bacterial transfer from hands to guard
 

ABOUT THE STUDY

The control group was comprised of two sets of hockey players:

Group 1:
Conventional guard

(5 hockey players)

Group 2: 
SISU™

(5 hockey players)

  • Wash hands before study
  • New mouth guards
  • Cultures from hands and guards after 2h practice
    • Germs found on hands
    • Same disease causing germs on all 5 players' conventional guards
  • Wash hands before study
  • SISU™
  • Cultures from hands and guards after 2h practice
    • Germs found on hands
    • No germs on any of the 5 players' SISU™ mouth guards



And the results were stunning:NO bacteria found on the SISU™ mouthguards:
