The Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag is a specialized surgical instrument designed for use in various oral, maxillofacial, ear, nose, and throat (ENT), and dental procedures. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the patient’s mouth open during surgery, allowing healthcare professionals such as dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and ENT specialists to perform procedures with better visibility and access.
Key Features:
- Frame Design: The tool features a robust U-shaped frame that is carefully designed to maximize exposure to the oral and throat areas during surgical interventions. The U-shape is tailored for optimal placement within the patient’s mouth.
- Tongue Depressors: The instrument comes with five interchangeable tongue depressors, numbered 1 to 5. These tongue blades serve dual purposes: preventing the patient’s mouth from closing and ensuring proper access to the surgical site. The varying sizes accommodate different patient anatomies.
- Suction Tube Options: Some tongue blade attachments are equipped with suction tubes, enhancing the tool’s functionality by allowing the removal of fluids or debris during the procedure. This feature contributes to maintaining a clear surgical field.
- Blade Dimensions: The width of the tongue blades ranges from 20 to 25 millimeters, and the length varies from 30 to 108 millimeters. These dimensions provide flexibility to cater to different surgical requirements and patient needs.
- Versatility in Dental Procedures: In addition to mouth opening, the Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag is specifically designed for separating upper and lower dental arches. This facilitates procedures such as dental examinations, extractions, or other interventions requiring access to the oral cavity.
- Locking Mechanism: The instrument may utilize a locking mechanism in the form of interlocking teeth on the tongue blades, ensuring a secure grip on the patient’s mouth during treatment.
- Precision and Access: The overall design of the tool is focused on providing healthcare professionals with a high level of precision and improved access to the targeted surgical areas.
