ABSTRACT A DEVICE FOR USE IN ORAL HYGIENE FOR The device carries or contains a supply of flowable agent which has medicant or freshness properties and also a length of dental floss between a pair of limbs. The agent is expelled by the user in small doses towards the length of floss during use when the length of floss is located between the user's teeth. The device comprises a head 10 and body 11 and contains a supply of floss 12 which is threaded through the device 10, 11 between a pair of limbs 14, 15 and back into the device to exit through an outlet 34. The outlet is adjacent to a hinged clamp 35 which traps the floss 12 to tension the length between the limbs or releases the floss so that the free end can be drawn out to locate a fresh length between the limbs. The agent is contained in a refillable or replaceable syringe or ampule 21 contained in the body of the device. The body can be opened for replenishment and threading of the floss and to remove and replace the syringe. A mechanism 22 is provided for manual manipulation to move a plunger into the syringe/ampule to cause agent to be expelled. In a disposable version, the device comprises a flat holder 50 on which is mounted on one or both sides, a pliable tubular sack 54 which, on finger pressure, ejects agent towards a short length of floss 53 attached to limbs 51, 52 of the holder.
