Dingman Mouth Gag: The Gold Standard for Oral & Cleft Palate Surgery
The Dingman Mouth Gag Complete Set from Adas Instruments is a specialized retractor system expertly designed for procedures involving the hard and soft palate. This comprehensive set is made from premium German Stainless Steel, providing surgeons with a reliable, self-retaining mechanism that maintains a wide-open operative field throughout the duration of the surgery.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each component of the Dingman set undergoes a rigorous passivation and boil-test process to ensure maximum longevity and rust prevention. The frame features multiple adjustment points, allowing for precise lateral retraction of the cheeks and stable depression of the tongue. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring that the ratchet and spring mechanisms operate smoothly to provide consistent tension without slippage.
Surgical Applications
- Cleft Palate Repair: Provides the necessary exposure for intricate suturing and tissue flaps in the roof of the mouth.
- Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy: Ensures a clear line of sight to the posterior oropharynx for efficient tissue removal.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Facilitates access for bone grafting and reconstructive oral procedures.
Care and Maintenance Section
Due to the complex moving parts and hinges, the Dingman frame should be fully disassembled for cleaning to remove all biological residue from the tracks and screws. It is fully autoclavable; however, moving parts should be lubricated with surgical-grade lubricant after sterilization. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
