Guy Tongue Holding Forceps

Guy Tongue Holding Forceps

Guy tongue holding forceps grip the tongue so a clinician can draw it forward. Teams use them in oral and throat procedures when the tongue needs holding out of the way.

Holding the tongue

The tongue is strong and slippery. Therefore, a dedicated forceps helps to hold it steady. The clinician grasps the tongue and pulls it gently forward, which clears the view behind it.

An 18 cm length

We stock the Guy pattern at 18 cm overall. That length keeps the hand outside the mouth. Also, it leaves room for the operator to work with other tools.

When teams reach for it

Tongue forceps help during some oral surgery and throat procedures. For example, they can keep the tongue forward while another clinician examines or treats the mouth. They also fit easily into a general ENT tray.

Ordering advice

If you already carry a tongue depressor, then these forceps offer a different kind of control. While a depressor presses down, the Guy pattern pulls forward. So some clinicians like to have both options ready.

Caring for your Guy tongue holding forceps

Rinse saliva and blood from the jaws soon after use. Next, open the forceps and brush the joint and jaw faces. Finally, air-dry the Guy forceps and sterilize them with the rings apart.
