Whitehead Mouth Gag 13cm

Clinical Application

Provides stable, hands-free oral cavity exposure for intraoral procedures that require unobstructed access for visualization, instrumentation, suction and suturing. Commonly used in dental surgery, maxillofacial procedures, otolaryngology (ENT), and select airway management or anesthetic procedures where sustained mouth opening is required.

Design & Configuration

The Whitehead pattern uses a compact 13 cm frame that positions retraction blades to gently separate the lips, cheeks and tongue while maintaining an open working channel. The self-retaining, adjustable configuration secures a consistent degree of opening and frees an assistant from manual retraction. The low-profile geometry balances exposure with control in confined oral spaces and facilitates direct line-of-sight for microscopes, loupes or endoscopes.
