Built around a curved wire frame with bilateral locking ratchets, the Whitehead mouth gag provides wide, self-retaining intraoral exposure for pharyngeal and palatal procedures. Serrated jaw plates secure firmly against the dental arches to prevent instrument dislodgement, while the central cutout frame maintains unobstructed surgical access to the throat. Formed from high-tensile stainless steel, this unit is manufactured in a universal standard size.
Key Features & Technical Specs
- Bilateral Ratchet Mechanism: Dual notched side-bars allow incremental jaw expansion and maintain fixed opening tension during lengthy operations.
- Serrated Anchoring Plates: Textured jaw surfaces grip occlusal planes securely, preventing anterior slipping under heavy soft-tissue resistance.
- Open Arch Frame Design: Contoured outer framework leaves the central oral cavity completely clear for tongue blade insertion and operative lighting.
Direct factory manufacturing supports private label laser etching, custom sizing configurations, and scalable B2B volume supply.
