Tongue Plate for Davis Boyle Fig.1, 27x105mm

Clinical Application

Provides controlled retraction and protection of the tongue as part of a Davis–Boyle (Boyle–Davis) mouth gag assembly. Used to expose the oropharynx and upper airway during otolaryngology procedures such as tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy, palatal surgery and other intraoral interventions where stable, atraumatic tongue displacement and visualization are required. The plate reduces soft-tissue encroachment into the surgical field and facilitates instrument access and endoscopic or microscopic visualization.

Design & Configuration

The flat plate geometry distributes contact pressure across the tongue to minimize focal compression while maintaining consistent retraction. The nominal 27 x 105 mm footprint balances broad surface contact with a length suitable for posterior oral exposure when mounted on the Davis–Boyle gag frame. The plate is configured to attach securely to the gag assembly, providing a stable working platform that resists rotation and displacement during surgical manipulation.
