Sklar Boyle-Davis Mouth Gag, With Swivel
A mouth gag with a swivel mechanism used to hold the patient's mouth open and stable during tonsillectomy and other oral or pharyngeal surgery, for use in hospitals and surgical centers.
The Sklar Boyle-Davis Mouth Gag is a self-retaining instrument used to hold the patient's mouth open during tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and other oral and pharyngeal procedures, freeing the surgeon from needing an assistant to hold the jaw manually throughout the case. Its swivel mechanism allows the tongue blade to be adjusted and locked at the angle needed for the individual patient, helping the surgeon achieve clear access to the tonsillar fossae and posterior pharynx.
This is a single configuration listing, sold as an individual instrument, though it is typically used together with interchangeable tongue blades of different sizes on the same frame. It is intended for use by trained ENT surgical staff and is a standard fixture of the tonsillectomy instrument tray in most operating rooms performing these procedures, cleaned and sterilised between cases like other reusable surgical frames.
