Modell Wurzburg Tongue Blade

Description

Modell Wurzburg Tongue Blade

The Modell Wurzburg tongue blade holds the tongue down and forward during throat surgery. ENT teams choose a blade that matches the patient, so the view reaches the tonsils and pharynx.

What the blade does

The blade rests on the tongue and keeps it out of the surgical field. As a result, the surgeon sees the back of the mouth clearly. It also protects the tongue from instruments.

Five blade sizes

We list five sizes: 66 x 28, 75 x 32, 83 x 34, 93 x 37 and 100 x 38 mm. The small blades suit children. Meanwhile, the larger blades suit adults with a deeper mouth.

How teams use it

Many surgeons use tongue blades together with a mouth gag frame. For instance, a team may keep several blade sizes on the tray. Then the surgeon swaps blades until the view looks right.

Confirming the fit

If you plan to use the blade with a gag you already own, check fit first. Therefore, send us the model of your frame before ordering. We will confirm and share dimensions.

Caring for your Modell Wurzburg tongue blade

Rinse the blade soon after the case to remove blood and mucus. Next, brush both sides gently. Dry the blade completely before sterilization.
