Obwegeser Mouth Gag str 12.5cm

Clinical Application

Provides stable mouth opening and unobstructed intraoral access for oral and maxillofacial procedures. Commonly used during orthognathic surgery, mandibular and maxillary procedures, intraoral tumor resections, dental surgery requiring extended exposure, and other operative cases where sustained retraction of the oral cavity is required. The device facilitates two-handed operative technique by holding the oral aperture and improving visualization of anterior and midline structures.

Design & Configuration

The straight geometry provides direct, predictable retraction along the oral axis, minimizing torsional forces on the mandible and soft tissues. A 12.5 cm overall length yields a moderate mouth opening suitable for procedures needing anterior and central intraoral access. The simple straight frame supports consistent exposure and allows the surgical team to work without repeatedly manually maintaining the opening.
