Negus Chest Support for Mouth Gag

Description

Negus Chest Support for Mouth Gag

The Negus chest support is an accessory for mouth gags in throat surgery. It rests on the patient’s chest and steadies the gag, so the surgeon does not need a hand to hold it.

Why a chest support helps

A mouth gag must stay still while the surgeon works in the throat. However, a gag on its own can tilt as the head moves. The support gives it a fixed point to rest against.

An accessory, not a gag

This item does not open the mouth by itself. Instead, it works together with a compatible gag frame. So check your current gag before you order.

Its place in tonsil surgery

Surgeons often perform tonsillectomy and adenoidectomy with the patient’s head extended. For example, a Davis-Boyle style gag holds the mouth open. Then the chest support keeps that gag in position through the case.

Checking compatibility

We do not list size data for this accessory on the site. Therefore, send us the make and pattern of your gag before you buy. We will confirm fit and share dimensions.

Caring for your Negus chest support

Wipe off any fluid after the case, then rinse the support. Next, wash it with mild detergent and a soft brush. Once dry, send it to sterilization alongside the gag and blades.
