A small Doyen mouth gag is used in surgical and dental procedures on children or smaller patients to safely hold the mouth open for better access and visibility. Its primary purpose is to allow oral and ENT surgeons to perform procedures, such as tooth extractions, with both hands free and a clear view of the surgical area, while minimizing patient discomfort.

Holding the mouth open:

Keeps the patient's mouth open during oral, dental, or Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) procedures.

Improving visibility:

Provides a clear and unobstructed view of the teeth, gums, and other oral cavity structures for the surgeon.

Facilitating surgical access:

Allows for precise and efficient execution of procedures that require a wide-open mouth, such as tooth extractions, oral surgery, or other interventions.

Patient comfort and safety:

Designed to gently retract the cheeks and lips, and the ratchet system allows for a self-retaining, stable opening, which helps prevent damage to the jaw and reduces strain on the surgeon.
