Jennings Mouth Gag

Description

Jennings Mouth Gag

The Jennings mouth gag is a self-retaining gag that keeps the mouth open. Clinicians in dentistry, oral surgery and ENT rely on it for procedures and for examinations under anesthesia.

A familiar design

Its frame surrounds the mouth while keeping the jaws apart. Consequently, the team can work without holding the mouth open by hand. Many clinicians learn on this pattern in training.

Four sizes

We list the Jennings gag at 9, 11, 13 and 15 cm. The 9 cm size suits small children. Meanwhile, the 13 and 15 cm sizes suit adults.

Where teams use it

Uses include dental work under general anesthesia, oral surgery and throat procedures. For instance, a pediatric dental team may keep the smaller sizes ready. Likewise, an adult oral surgery list may favor the larger ones.

Selecting sizes

First, look at the ages of your patients. Next, choose at least two sizes so you can adjust on the day. If you are unsure, ask us for advice.

Caring for your Jennings mouth gag

Open the gag and rinse it straight after use. Then brush all joints and contact points with a soft brush. After drying, sterilize it in the open position.
