Guy Tongue holding Fcps 19cm

Clinical Application

Designed to provide reliable hold and control of the tongue and adjacent mucosa during oropharyngeal procedures. Commonly used in ENT, oral and maxillofacial surgery, dental procedures and during airway management to retract or stabilize the tongue for improved access and visualization. The instrument enables precise tissue handling while minimizing slippage during surgical manipulation.

Design & Configuration

The instrument’s long 19 cm shank provides increased reach into the oral cavity while keeping the operator’s hands clear of the field. Ring handles with a locking ratchet permit secure, hands-free retention once the desired grip is achieved, reducing the need for continuous manual force and improving stability. The tongue-holding tip geometry is intended to engage mucosal tissue firmly with minimal crushing, helping preserve tissue integrity while maintaining a dependable grip.
