Jennings Mouth Gag: Superior Stability for Oropharyngeal Procedures
The Jennings Mouth Gag from Adas Instruments is a cornerstone of the ENT surgical tray. Crafted from premium German Stainless Steel, this self-retaining retractor is specifically designed to provide a wide and stable opening of the mouth, ensuring that the surgeon has a clear and consistent view of the tonsillar bed and posterior pharynx.
Exceptional Engineering & Accuracy
Manufactured from high-grade German stainless steel, each Jennings gag undergoes a rigorous passivation process to ensure maximum structural integrity and corrosion resistance. The ratchet mechanism is precision-cut to prevent accidental slippage under the high tension required during oral surgery. At Adas Instruments, we prioritize 100% technical accuracy, ensuring the anatomical curve of the frame minimizes pressure on the patient’s dental arches while maximizing surgical exposure.
Surgical Applications
- Tonsillectomy & Adenoidectomy: Provides the primary oral exposure needed for tissue excision and hemostasis.
- Palatoplasty: Essential for cleft palate repairs where a wide, stable operative field is mandatory.
- Maxillofacial Surgery: Useful for internal fixation of jaw fractures or intra-oral biopsies.
Care and Maintenance Section
To ensure the longevity of the ratchet mechanism, the Jennings Mouth Gag should be cleaned in the fully open position. It is critical to remove all biological debris from the teeth of the ratchet using a soft-bristled brush before autoclaving. Regular application of a surgical-grade lubricant to the moving joints is highly recommended. Adas Instruments ships USA, Europe & worldwide to support specialized surgical centers with elite-tier instrumentation.
People Also Ask
Is a separate tongue depressor required with the Jennings Mouth Gag?
Yes. Unlike the Dingman or McIvor gags, the Jennings gag retracts the jaws but does not include an integrated tongue blade. It is typically paired with a Bruening or Wieder tongue depressor.
What sizes of the Jennings Gag are available?
We offer a full range of sizes, typically from 9cm (pediatric) up to 17cm (large adult), to accommodate all patient demographics.
Does the ratchet mechanism lock securely?
Yes, the Jennings pattern features a heavy-duty ratchet that provides incremental locking to ensure the mouth remains open at the exact width set by the surgeon.
