Whitehead Mouth Gag w/Tongue Depressor – Stellar-Frame Labial Anchor & Horizon-View Oropharyngeal Shield

Solid-Phase Whitehead Mouth Gag with Integrated Tongue Depressor

The Whitehead Mouth Gag w/Tongue Depressor is a cornerstone of the professional otolaryngology toolkit, specifically engineered for the stable displacement of the mandible and tongue during tonsillectomies and adenoidectomies. Functioning as a high-performance labial anchor, the ratcheted frame allows the clinician to precisely calibrate the oral opening, locking securely to prevent accidental closure. Adas Instruments ensures that each oropharyngeal shield component is balanced for center-point force transmission, providing the necessary leverage to keep the tongue blade firmly in place without obstructing surgical maneuvers. By utilizing the Whitehead Mouth Gag w/Tongue Depressor, practitioners benefit from a horizon-view perspective of the posterior pharynx, facilitated by the instrument’s open-frame architecture. We ship USA, Europe & worldwide via DHL, FedEx, and UPS to deliver German steel instruments that professionals trust for their safety mechanisms and structural resilience.
