TAP® 3 is a trademark of Airway Management. All trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

The TAP 3 is custom made in two pieces. Interchangeable hooks accommodate Class I, II and III bites and permit a wide range of precise adjustment, so the appliance can be tuned closely to the patient rather than approximately.

The hardware is smaller than on previous models. That means more room for the tongue and a better chance the patient can close their lips around it — which, in practice, is often the difference between an appliance that gets worn and one that does not.
