McIvor mouth gag complete set

Clinical Application

This complete McIvor mouth gag set provides stable, direct exposure of the oral cavity and oropharynx. It is used to retract the tongue and cheeks and to maintain a guarded working channel for procedures such as tonsillectomy, base of tongue or lingual tonsil surgery, palatal procedures, posterior pharyngeal work, and select intraoral or maxillofacial interventions. By securing soft tissues and protecting dentition, the device frees the surgeon’s hands and minimizes the need for manual retraction during critical dissection and suturing steps.

Design & Configuration

The gag’s modular frame supports interchangeable tongue blades and lateral cheek retractors, allowing intraoperative customization to patient anatomy and surgical exposure needs. An adjustable support and locking mechanism permits controlled advancement of the tongue blade for reproducible tongue displacement while preserving venous return. Lateral retractors create a broad corridor for visualization and instrumentation while the frame provides a stable platform to protect teeth and soft tissues from instrument trauma. The set configuration enables rapid component changes without compromising stability.
