Seemann-Seiffert Mouth Gag

Description

Seemann-Seiffert Mouth Gag

The Seemann-Seiffert mouth gag holds the jaws apart so the surgeon can work inside the mouth. ENT and oral surgery teams use gags like this during throat and mouth procedures.

Hands-free opening

A mouth gag keeps the mouth open without constant effort from the team. As a result, the surgeon can concentrate on the oral work itself. The assistant also has both hands free for suction and retraction.

Size range

We offer this gag in 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 cm. The smaller sizes suit younger patients. In contrast, the larger ones suit adults.

In throat and mouth surgery

Teams often combine a gag with tongue blades or a tongue depressor. For example, the gag opens the jaws while the blade holds the tongue down. Then the surgeon reaches the tonsils or palate.

Choosing between sizes

Look at your patient population first. Then pick a set of sizes that spans it. If you want dimensions beyond length, just ask and we can email them.

Caring for your Seemann-Seiffert mouth gag

Rinse the gag right after use, with its joints open. Next, clean every moving part with a soft brush. Dry it fully, then sterilize it open.
