Venture SMD Solution Launches Oral Irrigator 'Komoral'

February B2B Sales, April General Consumer Sales Begin

[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Yoon-joo] SMD Solution Co., Ltd., a venture company and subsidiary of Seoul National University Technology Holdings, is introducing an oral irrigator developed using its own researched technology.

SMD Solution announced on the 22nd that it will sell the new-concept oral irrigator 'COMORAL'.

The greatest strength of COMORAL is that it provides oral care effects without restrictions of time, place, or space. The core technology is the mouthpiece-type 'WATERET'. When held in the mouth, 60 water jets are simultaneously sprayed in four directions: up, down, front, and back, cleaning the upper and lower teeth, as well as the inside and outside surfaces of the teeth all at once. Simply holding the WATERET in the mouth removes foreign substances and dental plaque from the entire oral cavity within one minute, making it usable even for those who find detailed hand movements difficult. COMORAL is generally more effective when used after brushing teeth first.

COMORAL is suitable for ▲patients with periodontal disease and cavities ▲patients undergoing orthodontic treatment and implant procedures who require meticulous oral care ▲elderly people, physically vulnerable individuals, bedridden patients, and others who wish to maintain oral hygiene but find thorough brushing difficult.

COMORAL won the 'Innovation Award' in the Health & Wellness category at the world's largest information technology and electronics exhibition, CES 2020. In the same year, it also received the 'New Technology Certification (NET)' for its 'Mouthpiece Design and Spray Control Technology for Oral Irrigation.' The New Technology Certification is granted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy to new technologies that can be commercialized within two years and significantly improve the performance of existing products.

Director Kwak Soo-jung of SMD Solution said, "Although bacteria causing periodontal disease can spread through the bloodstream and cause systemic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and dementia, oral care is often neglected. COMORAL will begin B2B sales in February and plans to start sales to general consumers in April."

Meanwhile, SMD Solution Co., Ltd. is a medical service design venture company founded by Professor Kim Hyun-jung (specialist in anesthesiology and pain medicine) of the Department of Dental Anesthesiology at Seoul National University Dental Hospital. It was established in 2016 as a subsidiary of Seoul National University Technology Holdings.
