Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag

Description

Davis-Boyle Mouth Gag

The Davis-Boyle mouth gag is a standard gag for tonsil and adenoid surgery. ENT surgeons use it to open the mouth and hold the tongue down during tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy.

Why ENT surgeons choose it

The gag gives a stable, hands-free view of the oropharynx. As a result, the surgeon can work with both hands. It also works with a tongue blade to keep the tongue out of the way.

Complete set or gag only

We sell two configurations: complete and gag only. The complete version suits a new tray. Meanwhile, the gag only option suits teams that already own the accessories.

Its role in tonsillectomy

During a typical case, the patient lies with the head extended. Then the surgeon inserts the gag and opens it. Seizing forceps, dissectors and snares follow once the view looks clear.

Choosing a configuration

First, check which parts you already own. If you have blades and supports, the gag only version may suit you. For the exact contents of the complete set, contact us before ordering.

Caring for your Davis-Boyle mouth gag

Remove the blade and rinse all parts after surgery. Next, brush the joints and fittings with a soft brush. Dry everything fully, then sterilize the parts together.

Ordering your gag set

Our three-year warranty keeps the gag covered for defects in workmanship. Before release, a Davis-Boyle gag passes through hand inspection at our Atlanta location. Common questions get answers on the FAQ page. In addition, surgical steels follow ASTM F899 as their reference standard. To steady the gag from the chest, add a Negus chest support. See our ENT category for tonsil tools.
