Tongue Plate for Davis Boyle Fig.5, 20x25mm

Clinical Application

This tongue plate is a dedicated replacement component for the Davis Boyle Fig.5 mouth gag system. It provides reliable anterior tongue support and retraction to optimize exposure of the oropharynx and tonsillar fossae during tonsillectomy, adenoidectomy and a range of ENT and oral surgical procedures performed under general anesthesia. By stabilizing and protecting the tongue, the plate helps maintain a clear operative field and facilitates safe instrumentation and suctioning.

Design & Configuration

The plate presents a compact 20x25 mm contact area sized to engage the anterior tongue while minimizing obstruction of the surgical field. As a field-replaceable component for the Fig.5 configuration, it integrates with the Boyle-Davis gag frame to provide secure, repeatable positioning. The plate geometry balances surface support with a low profile to improve visualization and reduce interference with surgical access.
