A Doyen mouth gag is a medical instrument used to hold a patient's mouth open for oral or ENT surgeries and dental procedures, ensuring both hands and the surgical area are accessible. It is also used to improve visibility during examinations and procedures like tooth extractions or tonsillectomies. Its design features curved blades to gently retract lips and cheeks and a ratchet system for adjustable, stable positioning.

Holding the mouth open:

The main function is to keep the mouth open for extended periods, providing a stable and wide opening for surgeons and dentists.

Surgical access:

It provides crucial access to the oral cavity for procedures such as dental extractions, oral surgery, and tonsillectomies.

Improving visibility:

By holding the mouth open and retracting the cheeks and lips, the gag allows for a clearer view of the teeth, gums, and other oral structures.
