Denhart Mouth Gag

Description

Denhart Mouth Gag

The Denhart mouth gag props the jaws apart so the team can work inside the mouth. Dentists and oral surgeons rely on it, for example, during treatment under sedation or anesthesia.

Keeping the mouth open

A patient under sedation may not keep the mouth open alone. Therefore the gag props the jaws apart and holds them there. The operator then works without fighting jaw closure.

Curved, 13 cm

We list the Denhart gag at 13 cm with a curved shape. The curve helps the gag sit clear of the working area. As a result, the operator keeps a good view of the teeth.

Clinical settings

Oral surgery suites and hospital dental units keep gags ready. For instance, a team treating a patient under general anesthesia may place one early. Meanwhile, the anesthetist watches the airway.

Choosing a gag

Different gags suit different procedures and mouths. If you need a larger or smaller opener, look at the other patterns we stock. We can also send dimensions on request.

Caring for your Denhart mouth gag

Right after use, rinse the gag, paying attention to any joints. Then brush the whole instrument gently. Let it dry completely before sterilization.
