Product Overview

The Russel-Davis Mouth Gag is a reusable tongue depressor blade system supplied in multiple blade-only configurations, with all variants measuring 135 mm (5 1/4″) in overall length. Each configuration is specified with a groove for endotracheal tubes, while the jaw/blade dimensions vary to provide different working-end sizes.

The product is specified for Ear-Nose-Throat Surgery and Maxillo-Facial Surgery, with Adenoidectomy and Tonsillectomy supplied as the indications.
