Whitehead Mouth Gag Retractor 23.5 cm
This 23.5 cm mouth gag is a long-handled Whitehead-style intraoral retractor used to hold the lips, cheek, and angle of the mouth apart during surgical, trauma, or anaesthetised cases. Two opposing wire loops seat at the commissures and hold tissue away from the operating field, while the sculpted metallic handle gives the assistant a comfortable two-finger grip. The instrument is machined from stainless steel and is fully autoclavable. It is supplied non-sterile for in-clinic processing. Equate Instruments offers this 23.5 cm size as a larger-frame mouth-opening retractor for adult and maxillofacial cases where a short Molt gag cannot keep the oral commissures wide enough to work in comfortably.
