Fergusson Mouth Mag Ackland jaws 19cm

Clinical Application

Provides stable, hands-free retraction of the oral cavity and oropharynx to facilitate visualization and access during procedures such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, palatal surgery, transoral biopsies, and select dental or maxillofacial interventions. The broad Ackland-style jaws distribute contact pressure across the dentition and alveolar ridge, helping to protect teeth while maintaining an unobstructed operative field and allowing safe passage of suction, instruments, or endotracheal tubes.

Design & Configuration

The instrument employs the established Fergusson mouth-gag geometry with Ackland-pattern jaw plates to create a stable bite/contact interface and reduce focal pressure on individual teeth. A locking self-retaining mechanism maintains the desired degree of opening without continuous manual retraction, freeing an assistant and improving operative ergonomics. The 19 cm overall length provides appropriate reach for adult oral and oropharyngeal exposures while keeping the adjusting mechanism accessible at the proximal end.
