Product Overview
Mcivor Mouth Gags is a specialized otolaryngology instrument utilized to maintain continuous oral exposure during tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, and cleft palate surgery. Available in multiple variations with different blade dimensions, the D-shaped frame rests comfortably outside the dental arch while depressing the tongue to prevent airway obstruction. An integrated slide-and-lock ratchet allows surgeons to adjust opening width and tongue depression precisely, keeping the hands free throughout deep oropharyngeal interventions.
Key Features:
• Slide-lock mechanism secures calibrated jaw separation to prevent sudden closure.
• Open wireframe profile keeps the operative field clear of visual obstructions.
• Depressor blade channels accommodate endotracheal tubes to protect patient airway.
• Surgical-grade stainless steel body resists stress deformation across routine autoclave cycles.
Uses & Applications:
• Exposes tonsillar beds and posterior pharyngeal tissue during adenotonsillectomy.
• Maintains stable oral access during palatoplasty and cleft palate surgery.
• Depresses the tongue to facilitate soft palate inspection and tissue biopsy.
