Whitehead Mouth Gag 11cm

Clinical Application

Provides stable mouth opening and oropharyngeal exposure to facilitate intraoral procedures such as dental extractions, intraoral tumor access, maxillofacial surgery and select ENT procedures. The self-retaining mechanism frees an assistant’s hands for instrumentation, suction and retraction while maintaining consistent access to the operative field.

Design & Configuration

The Whitehead pattern uses a compact, self-retaining frame sized to maintain a controlled oral aperture while limiting soft-tissue and dental interference. Its hands-free configuration reduces the need for continuous manual retraction and improves line-of-sight for the surgeon. The 11 cm overall length balances access and maneuverability in confined intraoral spaces.
