Sonipod is designed to demonstrate two unique features of the sonicare toothbrush.

The sonipod is a new handheld patient demonstration tool designed specifically for use with the sonicare toothbrush.

Sonipod is designed to demonstrate two unique features of the sonicare toothbrush. The LED "strobe" lights on the front of the sonipod can be adjusted to slow down the bristle motion of the sonicare, thereby showing the gentle sweeping action of the brush.

Under the clear blue lid is a quadrant of model teeth surrounded by fluid and a plastic housing. When the sonicare is held against this housing at the recommended 45-degree brushing angle, dynamic fluid action can be observed. The sonicare toothbrush creates this fluid action when it comes in contact with water, saliva, and toothpaste in the mouth, allowing cleaning to occur not only upon direct contact with the tooth surface, but also in hard-to-reach areas like between the teeth and below the gum line.
